I have a user form with a combobox that contains filepaths of databases. I would like to open the database based on the current value selected in the combo box. (attached to a button)
Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Nevermind. got it
Code:
Dim nfile As String
nfile = ([Combo15].Value)
Call Shell("""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE""   " & [nfile], 1)
