Forms and Browse

Can I create a field in a form so that a user can browse for a file on their network?

RE: Forms and Browse

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your question.

There is no answer in the front end of Access but you need to create some Access VBA code. The link below contains the vba code needed.

On the form, switch to Design View and create a command button. Now select the button and go to properties. Select the Data Tab and click on the 3 dots at the end.

Copy the code from the link and paste it between the Private Sub and End Sub.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Related tables

When you have related tables such as Customers and their Orders, the Customer table is the Primary table.

Open the Customers table in datasheet view and go to the Home Tab and Records group. Click on the More option and choose Subdatasheet and then click on Subdatasheet again. Now choose the related table (Orders) and click ok.

Now you can click the + symbol by each company to show the related orders.
