Question : How to open multiple pdf files in datasheet view

Hi,

I have an MS Access 2003 database. There is a command button "open By Site Name" which asks user to enter a "site name" which is a field. By entering the site name the respective names are displayed in datasheet view. I want to have another feature by which all the pdf files stored in a folder which are related to each site name (displayed in datasheet) by its name are opened. Below is my code. right now it just shows type mismatch error when the button is clicked and the datasheet is opened.

Code Snippet:

Answer : How to open multiple pdf files in datasheet view

Oh, my appologies sahi,

I have linked the Form 'By Site Name' to the query 'By Site Name' when in fact it should be 'By Site Name_PB'.

If you open the Form 'By Site Name' in design mode. Go to 'View=>Properties' and change the Record Source from 'By Site Name' to 'By Site Name_PB', that should fix your problem.
