How do I attach a document along a column?
I have written a code where a user can enter text onto textboxes and these will be written on a respective row, below is an example. Name Location Email Document John Doe Houston Document1.doc So the problem I'm having is attaching documents in column 4 (in this example Row2 Column4), I just want a simple icon, or anything really that makes this work, to show up in that cell and then have a user just be able to double click it and launch the document. -- ae030 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ae030's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=541 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...d.php?t=118182 |

How can they access a file that's within my hard drive? -- ae030 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ae030's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=541 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...d.php?t=118182 |

I want them to be able to open the document. I think if I used a hyperlink the user of this would not be able to open the document as it would be linked to a document on my hard drive, which they will not have access to. Also, the document that will be attached might change locations from where it is initially located. -- ae030 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ae030's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=541 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...d.php?t=118182 |
