Hyperlinks

M

MAL

I have an index database that has hyperlinks to document images in it. I have set the folder options so that a particular viewer comes up when an image is opened. However, when I hyperlink from Access I get the stupid Window Imaging Viewer whether I want it or not. How can I change this so that my folder option default viewer comes up instead? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try the Shell function:

Shell("PathToExecutable PathToFile",vbNormalFocus)
