Store hyperlink, when filename may have # in the name?
I tried posting this in another group, with no results, so I'm trying
again... I need to store a hyperlink to the location of filenames in the database. I have been successful in storing the information (so far) by assigning the field the required values separated by hash marks (#, or pound signs or whatever you want to call them). Since Access requires the # as the separator, I don't have an option to use another character. I have a text field on the form with a Browse button. The user selects the file, using the browse button, and I store it in the text field as follows: Me.txtContractLocation = strPath & "#" & strPath This shows the full path as well as creating the hyperlink so the user can click on it. Now that it's working, I found a document (among the test documents the user gave me) that has a name which has a hash mark in it called "File Test #1.jpg". Needless to say, this totally screws up my current method. So, NOW what do I do??? I know, I know, tell the users NOT to use stupid names (but try telling that to a bunch of engineers!). Thoughts, comments, solutions??? Thanks, Larry BTW, Access 2003, Windows XP |
