    Hi sweet-66,

    It's great that you got your answer but for the sake of others reading this thread in the future can you post the solution or a link.

    Hi sweet66 - sorry but ive been away for a while - yes that was exactly what my code did but it also allowed you to browse for the file and insert the path into datasheet view - a guy called Derek Smyth who is one of the fountains of knowledge on this forum helped me out with it - glad you got it sorted though.

    By double clicking the desire path in the data sheet view, the *.pdf file name would be open.

    For example:

    Path = \\ipc154\contract\filename.pdf

    when you double click that path in the datasheet view it will open.

    Do you have code for that application

    Depends what you want to do - if you want to be able to save a PDF into your database (or any other document type) then i have code that allows you to do that and then double clicking on it will open it up in the appropriate program.

    Is this what you want

    RHhs.
