Hi again Sue
I used the code on your site:
______________________________
Sub CallReports_Click()
Set objWeb = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objWeb.Navigate Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages _
("General").Controls("CallReports").ControlTipText
objWeb.Visible = True
End Sub
______________________________
The command box I am using is called CallReports (thats the control name).
My folder path is stored in the ControlTipText of Advanced Properties,
because I wanted a different caption to show.
When I ran the form and clicked the button, it brought up Internet Explorer,
but wouldn't show the folder. Am I doing something wrong? Should I change the
InternetExplorer.Application to something different?
Thanks,
Amy
