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.
