Alpha	26-Mar-2008 08:49 I am looking for help on how to create a hyperlink in a cardbox field, so that when played it opens up a folder on our companies server. For example our server is on Z: drive, we have a folder called project files documentation, which then has many different files i.e. word documents, excel documents in it. We would like to, on a click of a button, or playing of a macro, open up this or any other chosen folder on our server directly from a Cardbox format. Can anyone help, anything would be appreciated
