I am working on a Project Management App , and was looking for a way to "embed" a File Manager/Exlorer window on the Project Record form. I don't want to create a button and use filesystem object , been there done that and it is not the functionality the client wants. by chance , when adding the webcontrol (from the ribbon not the activex browser control) for viewing pdf's I noticed I could use that browser as a rudimentary file manager and create folders and drag and drop files into those folders. I set the controlsource for each record to that projects default path and everything seemed to great. Then I get a call from the VP saying that we need auto save because other users couldn't see the folders he created in the webcontrol???
Sure enough - I could not even use explorer to see these folders, nor could I see them through the webcontrol, but from his machine we could! Not only that Explorer from his machine did not see the new files and folders. I have never seen anything like this
We are on Terminal Services and a forticlient vpn - Using Access 365. Now I must add - Last night I created another user (windows 10 and why MSwant emails and info on a local user is unreal) on my local - and tested the control - I createcd folders and dragged and dropped. Then signed out and logged in as another user - and I could see everything
If noone knows the answer or is unfamiliar does anyone have a solution to allow for folder and file view (not treeview) and explorer type functionality with in a form? maybe even 3rd party activex or something? Thank you
Ill be checking back every 15 minutes lol as this has now become a pressing issue
