Question : Access 2007 - UNC paths in VBA to files on a server (2003)
I have a form in Access 2007. On Current event, I want to check a directory on a server (running Win 2003) to see if a specific file exists. If it does, I want to set the Visible property of a hyperlink to True, else False.
If Dir(FileName) = "" Then
Me!viewpdflink.Visible = False
Else: Me!viewpdflink.Visible = True
End If
Quite sure the problem is in my path as I can make it work fine if I use a local directory.
FileName = "\\NightWatch\Scans\Contra
cts\" & Me!Custno & Me!ContractID & ".pdf"
Nightwatch - server name
Scans - shared folder
me!Custno & me!contractid - textboxes on the form that match the filename when combined.
The error I keep getting is:
Run-time error '52':
Bad file name or number
Can someone help me!
