Use Acc to display list of MS Word documents

[JerryC]

I have a Contacts database where I would like to select
from a list of MS Word documents that could be emailed to
a client.
I would prefere to list documents found in a folder and
be able to select one for e-mailing out.

How would I display the document list on a MS Access form?

Have a look at my free demo database that shows how to import Word file
paths. You can just import the objects and code into your app.

Hi Jerry,

Look up the Dir command in Access Help. You can build a recordset by any of
several different means using the Dir command successively until it fails.
Base your form on the recordset and showing continuous forms. You could
also use a list box in single mode or multiselect.
