Organising External Flies
Hi,
I have a large number of related PDF documents that are currently hyperlinked as a means of access and searching. I would like to develop a access database that can organise these file, but more importantly open them from an access control. Therefore I need a way of opening pdf documents from within the database. Thanks |
