Opening a PDF document from a button in Access
Hello,
I have written a nice PDF that outlines instructions and the instructions of my database. I have build a button on my "home page", on click i would like it to launch the pdf for the user to review.
I have tried a couple of things but no luck. Any ideas? Ive tried these
----------------------------
Dim shell As Object
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run "XXXXXXXXX"
-----------------------------
file = "C:\path\FileToOpen.pdf"
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
shell.Run Chr(34) & sfile & Chr(34), 1, False
----------------------------

Access tip:Deleting duplicate records from a tableYou cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table. |
