Hello,<br />
<br />
I have A program which contains a combo box that has a value which is a link to a local file. I want the user to be able to open this file when they click a button.<br />
<br />
Previously I have done this in VBA using Application.FollowHyperlin<wbr />k Me.txtAuth. Is there a way to do this in VB.NET?<br />
<br />
The target file is a .TIF I've read a bit on using a file browser to complete this but I want it to open the file selected on the form, rather than browsing for it.<br />
<br />
Thanks in Advance!
