Hi there,
I developed an application that shows some information (taken from a DB) related to purchase orders. Information is contained in a form. The form contains also a path/link (shown as a label) to a shared directory containing relevant documentation (pdf files, excel files, emails etc.) related to the order. I have been asked to make the path "clickable" i.e. the user should click on it and the folder should be opened in Windows Explorer. If that is not feasible, I can even use a button to show the path instead of a label: the important thing to me is to understand how to launch Windows explorer. Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Regards,
Gio
