linking a folder

How does one link an entire directory/folder to a form on Access. I have
multiple records and each record has a specified folder which has scanned
documents. I need to have a link to each folder relative to the matching
record. How do I do this?
 
Just put the path to the appropriate folder in each record.
What are you intending to do with these linked folders?

The folders simply have 200 scanned pages of the original document. The
record is used as a display of the main information from the document however
there are some instances in which we have to refer to the original document
(scanned pages). Instead of looking for the document on the hardrive I want
to have a quick link which will open the folder containing the numerous
sections for the original document.

I know I can link to open a specific file however I want the link to open
the folder which contains the files.

Thanks

Rob
