Link to Record

[MadMaxx]

Hey all,

Just wondering if it was possible to link to a specific record in a database by using a link to the database?

ie. C:\db\db.mdb -record

Or something like that.

Anyone know?

Thanx

No. You can only link to a table. Use a query if you only want to select a specific record from the linked table.

 

[MadMaxx]

I know you can link tables through access.

I'm talking about linking to a record using a path link not by using a linked table.

Don't be mad

 

[MadMaxx]

heh. Not mad. You would know it if I were mad

You can't do what you are suggesting in much the same you that you can't enter:

G:/MySheet.xls/A1 to get the value of a cell in a spreadsheet.

In the file model, the hierarchy ends with files. These files have their own models within that the file explores.

You might try changing the last property of the field to :
Hyperlink : Yes and edit the hyperlink address to go to your desired object.
