Follow Hyperlink Warning

I have a field in my database to store the location of files (Word
documents, text, and pdfs)

Right now i use the followHyperlink method to open the selected file,
but it produces a warning saying 'hyperlinks are dangerous, are you
sure you want to continue, etc. etc.' the SetWarnings(false) does
not disable this warning.

Is there a way to turn off that warning OR, is there some other method
of opening these files that does not produce the warning?

Thanks
 
It may depend on your computer's settings, but some of the warnings can be
circumvented if you add the "file:///' prefix.

For example, instead of:
C:/MyFolder/MyDoc.doc
set the hyperlink address to:
file:///C:/MyFolder/MyDoc.doc
