Åbning af pdf fil

I would have thought that you could just double click on the field with the OLE object in, or maybe right click and select open.

But why save the PDF in the dB? Its best if you only save the path/filename and then pen the picture when you need to,

do you still need help here?

How do I create a command for opening of a link to a pdf file?

Place this code in a module and call using

Dim lRet as Long

lRet = ShellExecute("C:\Path\FileName.pdf")



Private Declare Function apiShellExecute Lib "Shell32.dll" _
    Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
    (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
    ByVal lpOperation As String, _
    ByVal lpFile As String, _
    ByVal lpParameters As String, _
    ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
    ByVal nShowCmd As Long) _
    As Long

'***App Window Constants***
Public Const WIN_NORMAL = 1        'Open Normal
Public Const WIN_MAX = 3            'Open Maximized
Public Const WIN_MIN = 2            'Open Minimized

'***Error Codes***
Private Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 32&
Private Const ERROR_NO_ASSOC = 31&
Private Const ERROR_OUT_OF_MEM = 0&
Private Const ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND = 2&
Private Const ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND = 3&
Private Const ERROR_BAD_FORMAT = 11&

Public Function ShellExecute(stFile As String, lShowHow As Long)
Dim lRet As Long, varTaskID As Variant
Dim stRet As String
    'First try ShellExecute
    lRet = apiShellExecute(hWndAccessApp, vbNullString, _
            stFile, vbNullString, vbNullString, lShowHow)
           
    If lRet > ERROR_SUCCESS Then
        stRet = vbNullString
        lRet = -1
    Else
        Select Case lRet
            Case ERROR_NO_ASSOC:
                'Try the OpenWith dialog
                varTaskID = Shell("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL " _
                        & stFile, WIN_NORMAL)
                lRet = (varTaskID <> 0)
            Case ERROR_OUT_OF_MEM:
                stRet = "Error: Out of Memory/Resources. Couldn't Execute!"
            Case ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND:
                stRet = "Error: File not found.  Couldn't Execute!"
            Case ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND:
                stRet = "Error: Path not found. Couldn't Execute!"
            Case ERROR_BAD_FORMAT:
                stRet = "Error:  Bad File Format. Couldn't Execute!"
            Case Else:
        End Select
    End If
    ShellExecute = lRet & _
                IIf(stRet = "", vbNullString, ", " & stRet)
End Function

thd pdf file will open in th eprogram which is associated with PDF documents, for example Adobe Acrobat

Okay - hvordan starter jeg denne hændelse?

lets say you have a form which has a field containing the path+filename of the PDF document. You also have a button.
In the buttons on click event you would use somnething like.

Dim lRet as Long

lRet = ShellExecute(me.FieldWitPathFileName,1)

Når jeg indsætter dette modul, fungerer alle andre funktioner ikke.

Hvis jeg afspiller en anden funktion, melder den fejl, og går så ind i ovenstående kode.

Måske indsætter jeg koden i modulet forkert?

hard to say what the problem is. Your welcom eto send me the dB if you want. I'll take a look as soon as possible

change AT to @

Sendt

have you received the dB I sent back?

Yes - it worked perfectly. Thanks.
