Embed Windows Explorer inside an MS Access form

Question

is there a widget to embed an explorer like view inside an ms access form?

i have a folder with the name of the primary key, which holds documents (.doc, .xls) for that dataset (it’s an employees table)

currently i have a button which opens an explorer window, but having it embedded would be really nice.

any help, link, similar question, and even a ›no, there isn’t‹ is highly appreciated

Answer 1

You can use the OLE object Microsoft Web Browser on a form. Since Internet Explorer is capable of viewing files on your computer other than web pages.

Example Code: WebBrowser0.Navigate2 ("C:\") would go to this Folder

Edit: per @hans use either Navigate2 or the alternate systax (file//:...).
