Navigate to Controls in the taskpane. Drag a Hyperlink control to your view. The hyperlink properties dialog will appear. Enter k:\dpma\intek.xls in the Link To/Address field. Put a display name in the Display/Text field (for example "Intek Data". Click OK on the dialog and preview the form. You should be able to click on the link and Excel will open.<br /><br />Patrick Halstead [InfoPath MVP]<br />InfoPathDevhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/7433.aspxThu, 11 Aug 2005 02:30:11 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:7433DennisM0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/7433.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=7433K:\DPMA\Intek.xlshttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/7432.aspxThu, 11 Aug 2005 01:11:03 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:7432Patrick Halstead0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/7432.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=7432Hi again,<br />What is the path of the file on the shared drive?<br /><br />Patrick Halstead [InfoPath MVP]<br />InfoPathDevhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/7431.aspxWed, 10 Aug 2005 23:44:57 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:7431DennisM0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/7431.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=7431Hi Patrick and thank you so very much for replying.

If you need to modify the link, you could set your link to a field and change it as the result of some other change on your form (using rules or code).<br /><br />Patrick Halstead [InfoPath MVP]<br />InfoPathDevhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/4848.aspxWed, 10 Aug 2005 17:59:17 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:4848DennisM0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/4848.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=4848I would like to have a button, or some other method, on a form that allows a user to open an Excel file on the shared drive.<br /><br />Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />-Dennis
