Folders

[Jeffry Montalvo]

Hello Everyone,
I would like to set up a form which will have access to the computer's
directory so I can create a folder and save files to that folder within
access 2000?

Can someone help,
Thanks in advance...

JM

This is not a problem, in principle: you can read the folder structure
using the VBA Dir() function, and you can create a folder using the VBA
MkDir statement. Tell more about what you really want to do, and we can
probably give more detailed advice.

Thanks a million for the quick response.
I am trying to set a patient directory. In that directory I will put in
their individual records, ie... scan files, pdf docs, word docs, etc...

thanks,
JM

Hmm. That could get pretty involved. But look at Arvin Meyer's
document management database, downloadable from here:

You may be able to adapt it, or some parts of it, for your purposes.
