Hyperlink to internet Document files

[Brandon via AccessMonster.com]

I need to create a hyperlink to internet document files. Similar to how the
browse feature works where the user can go to the network, find the file and
adds the hyperlink to that file for future reference.

Is there a way to do this for internet file documents too?

I can hyperlink to the page where the file are on the internet, but I don't
know how to link the document once I get there. The user will need to choose
the document and once chosen, it links to the attachment field in Access.

Any suggestions or help appreciated.

Thanks,
Brandon

I need to create a hyperlink to internet document files similar to how the
browse feature works where the user can attach a file and link the url path
of the document to Access. So, the user can come back later, click on the
hyperlink and view the document, which resides on the web.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Brandon,

Assuming you can access and open the document directly via the web,
all you should need to accomplish your requirement is the complete
document URL. For example, if you can type in
http://www.mywebsite.com/myfiledirectory/mydocument.doc to open the
document, then storing this URL in Access and displaying to the user
as a hyperlink will directly take the user to mydocument.doc on the
web.
