Full Version: Linking Access Record To Excel File

For each record in my database, I will have a corresponding Excel Spreadsheet that will contain relevant information about the specific record.

Once the spreadsheet is created, I want it to be linked to the specific access record (via my form).

On a command button, I'm using:

Me!spreadpath = LaunchCD(Me)

This allows me to open the dialog box and search for the specific excel record. The pathway for the record will then go into a control on the form called Spreadpath.


I'm using the control spreadpath as a hyperlink, so all the user does is click it to launch to the excel file in question.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks

Ive decided to use the attachment function in the control. That way, if want, I can launch to any number of excel files. Probably a better solution for me...

Thanks in advance.
