Opening folders from access

[tag013]

Hi,
does anyone know if it is possible to access a folder (e.g. myDocuments) from access. All it should do is to open the folder and allow the user to view or open files within it. Does not need to store anything in the database.

Thanx!

forgot to add that i will supply a file path and it should open the folder in which this file is contained. Thanks.

This will do what you want, and a bunch more. Scroll down for the "usage examples" - pretty neat stuff.
