XP explorer operations from within Access?

[Guest]

Is it possible to set up a command button (or anything else) that would do
something like open a windows explorer window for the purpose of creating a
new directory in which to keep Word documents (and/or scanned documents)
related to the files in the Access system I'm working up?

If so, is there a way to automatically fill in the folder name with some
case file information, liike the case file number or file name?

Thanks, in advance.

VBA/Access has a "SHELL" command that allows you to run pretty much any
Windows app. With OLE and/or DDE you can link any external doc to an Access
record.
