Hi All
I have an Access database within which two of its forms, apart from the fields you would expect to see, each have a multitude of hyperlinks, some linked to items within the database and some to either Word documents or templates.
Two of the Word templates contain fill-in fields, and when one of these templates is called by double clicking on it in Windows Explorer i.e. ‘File New’, dialog boxes open in sequence, one for each fill-in field.
Attempting to hyperlink these templates on an Access form, and clicking on the hyperlink, results in the template being opened i.e. ‘File Open’ which opens the template as if I wish to modify it but the fill-in dialog boxes are not called.
I appreciate that I could create the document within an Access report, but there must be a way, I would have thought, of opening the required document from the Word template via a hyperlink rather than opening the template itself. My Access experience unfortunately does not stretch that far.
Can anyone help?
