Open files from Navision

DenSter

We need to be able to open files from Navision. I would want to have windows take care of the file type. So I would have a file name in my database, click a button which launches Word for *.doc files, Excel for *.xls files, etc.

It would also be acceptable to be able to launch windows explorer with a path that I store in my database.

Does anyone have some ideas?

Thanks in advance.

When you use HYPERLINK(txtFilename); Windows takes care of what program needs to be opened for that particular file.

I just noticed your question. This is the first ever message written on my site, called myNavision.net then: First message.
It is dated 5 November 1999 and the site was using different forum software.

The very first topic with a solution is this one: MS Outlook Automation, dated 11 November 1999.
