linking to outside documents

[ColinSully]

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to put a link within access to other documents??

For this project I'm working on I wanted to basically attach a file to a certain record so that if the user wants more info they can simply click on the link to go to the file on our companies intranet

Any ideas?

There is a data type 'Hyperlink' in Access 2000.

You could use that I suppose.

Sorry I'm just gettign the hang of access. I want ot be able to get a user to specify what document they want to attach. So is there a way to bring up the browse box and get the user to find the document and select it and then make a hyperlink to it?????
