[RESOLVED] just a quickie how to open a folder

[paulrogerson]

i was wondering how would i open a folder on a cd using code from clicking a label

[the182guy]

Private Sub Label1_Click
Shell "explorer.exe d:\windows", vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Change the path to the folder (including the drive letter if its on a cd)

oops sorry i should of said im working from a cd trying to use the app.path method.

i have labels named after the folder of where my apps are and when a user clicks on a label the corresponding folder opens.(well its supposed to)

I assume you mean you have the labels caption set to the folder path? So you could do:

Private Sub Label1_Click
Shell "explorer.exe " & App.Path & "\" & Label1.Caption, vbNormalFocus
End Sub

This will work if your labels caption is like 'MyFolder' or 'MyFolder\NewFolder' be sure to change the drive letter to your CD drive letter
