View 6 RepliesCan't Open File Using Access 7 Program
Jun 4, 2010I am trying to write a section of Access VB code that opens the Windows dialog box and allows my user to select and open a file to verify it is the correct one. (Then I use the file path and name to copy, rename and move the file). I have been trying to use the OpenFileName structure and have succeeded in capturing the file path and name my user selected... My main problem in all of this is getting the file to actually open so the user can verify it before I commit the actions noted. This probably can be done as a part of the OpenFileName dialog if I understood it better, but but isn't there also a trivial way to open a file if you have the path and name?
