I have a combo box on a form that lists scanned document files from a
certain folder. The combo box only lists the base filename (without
the complete path). The listed documents are associated with, and
manually open in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

How do I open the documents by selecting the filename in the combo box.
Please keep in mind that I am real VBA novice, therefore detailed
explanations would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Charlers

Try bringing the path field (I assume you have this is the base table) into
the combo as the bound field (set size to 0cm)

Use goto either on click or after update
