accessing stored pdf files from a drive within a network

Hi,
I am building a library db using access, and some of the
books are stored in our network.
which command is best suitable to retrive those files
stored in our system, using an access db?
Thank you kindly for your help

Hi Bruno,

Assuming you've got the filespecs of the PDF files stored in a field in
your database, (e.g.
\\SERVER\SHARE\Folder\Subfolder\File.pdf
) you can use the FollowHyperlink command. Pass it the filespec and it
will get Windows to launch Acrobat Reader and open the file.
