Browse Button

[Guest]

I have a Text box which requires a hyperlink entry. I would like to browse to
a file location on one of my servers; is there a browse button object. or a
browse button wizard that I can insert and link back to my table?

If the field type is set to hyperlink, then Access should take you to the
file when you click on the field. If it is a text data type, then you can
create a button that takes you to the file:

Application.FollowHyperlink Me.Field

The field type in the table is set to hyperlink.

In the form I want to enter the address of an image file such as <<<
C:\Images\Image-A.jpg >>>, but I don't want to type all that text each time
I make an entry. Therefore I would like the option to enter the address or
browse for the file.

Should "Application.FollowHyperlink Me.Field" be entered as code and if so,
where should I enter it? I don't see an obvious place in the properties
dialog box.

I'm sorry. I didn't read your posting carefully enough; I thought you wanted
to open an existing hyperlink. Search for "file browser" in this forum and
you should find a number of solutions for visually locating a file in the
windows directory (http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm). Also, since
you have a hyperlink field, you can drag and drop a windows file into that
field to get the address.
