getting files from within a form

[Jean-Paul De Winter]

Hi,
All letters I get from a patient are scanned.
I store them in a folder in a pdf format
Every file-name starts with the name of the patient then _VOO_ and the
date of scanning.
Something like:
Clinton Bill_VOO_040106.pdf
It is possible I have more then one scanned letter for the same patient.
Can I create a pushbutton on the patients form that opens all letters at
once?
Thanks
JP

Patient name is a /terrible/ identifier to use for important
information such as medical data.

What happens when you get two John Smith's?

What happens when Mary Jones becomes Mary Smith?

You really should generate a unique identifier for each pateint.

HTH,
TC

Once you incorporate by TC's advice, yes, you can have a pushbutton open all
the letters at once.

Have a loop that uses the FollowHyperlink method for each of the documents
you want to open.
