I have a text field on the form with a Browse button. The user selects
the file, using the browse button, and I store it in the text field as
follows:
Me.txtContractLocation = strPath & "#" & strPath
This shows the full path as well as creating the hyperlink so the user
can click on it.
Now that it's working, I found a document (among the test documents the
user gave me) that has a name which has a hash mark in it called "File
Test #1.jpg". Needless to say, this totally screws up my current
method.
So, NOW what do I do???
I know, I know, tell the users NOT to use stupid names (but try telling
that to a bunch of engineers!).
Thoughts, comments, solutions???
Thanks,
Larry

It's the un-shifted tilde character. I don't know what you call it but
that's my point - no one else does either and I've yet to have a user stick
that character into *anything*.
