Can use this C# code instead<br />
<br />
Put in a button, edit code for the button (make sure it's C# code)<br />
<br />
You need to add in<br />
using System.Diagnostics;<br />
<br />
then within the button code<br />
Process.Start(&quot;C:\\blah.tx<wbr />t&quot;);<br />
<br />
replacing blah.txt with the UNC of course<br />

I need to use buttons to open up an Access 2003 Dbase and an Excel 2003 workbook both residing on a shared network folder. &nbsp;Now I know I can open both of these using hyperlinks but this opens them up within a browser and that results in other issues hence my need to use UNC path, thanks.

Open External Files Using UNC Path via a Button

Microsoft InfoPath is a software application for designing, distributing, filling and submitting electronic forms containing structured data. The product features a WYSIWYG form designer in which the various controls (e.g. textbox, radio button, checkbox) are bound to data, represented separately as a hierarchical tree view of folders and data fields. All the data stored in InfoPath forms are stored in an XML format. Secondary data sources can be built into the form or they can be accessed through an external data connection to SharePoint or a Web service.
