MS Access - Save relative path in table and open file on clicking the link
Hi,
I have a form that have two field call "Source" and "Destination" taken form tblSou. The source field save the source of document and the destination field save the destination path (which is a server path mapped to local PC's in all the users). Now there are two thing that i want to achieve:
1. Save relative path. (how to save relative path? For example the path is (W:\\Document\test.pdf) how to save it's relative path?)
2. On table when click on that relative link it should open the file. (When the link is click in the table i.e the destination field it doesn't open that document , how to do that?)
Is it possible through VBA by getting the root directory of the folder and appending the filename?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

@Mate, thanks for explaning so well, i was a bit confuse but now it's more clear to me. I have 2 question here :
1. In (Replace(FullPath, StaticPath,) , how FullPath and StaticPath will be declared? I have static folder as W:\Document\ and after this there are 10 folder's where user will save the file in anyone of them.
2.I have a server in which Document Library is build which is mapped to my PC. In this scripting runtime "("C:\MyApp\Documents\Impo
Thank you again.

In the fields Source and Destination i have code , in Source it open folders and user select document and then in Destination user select the destination location where user copy the file. How can i incorporate the above code in this? any idea?
Private Sub txtSource_Click()
Dim Dialog As FileDialog
Dim Selected As Long
Set Dialog = FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With Dialog
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = Nz(Me!txtSource.Value)
.Title = "Select file to copy"
Selected = .Show
If Selected <> 0 Then
Me!txtSource.Value = .SelectedItems.Item(1)
End If
End With
Cancel = True
End Sub
Private Sub txtTarget_Click()
Dim Dialog As FileDialog
Dim Selected As Long
Set Dialog = FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
With Dialog
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = Nz(Me!txtTarget.Value)
.Title = "Name saved file"
Selected = .Show
If Selected <> 0 Then
Me!txtTarget.Value = .SelectedItems.Item(1)
If Not IsNull(Me!txtSource.Value) Then
FileCopy Me!txtSource.Value, Me!txtTarget.Value
