ok, I have a database of about 1500 people with 1500 individual folders on the drive, what I am tring to do ia a link to file for each person. (I select the text and right click, then build hyperlink, then find the individuals folder.) the problem I am running into is that If i change 1 person it changes them all, is there a way to avoid this happening?

If you are requesting the file for Jane Doe and retrieving the file for John Doe, then something is not working as you have it set up.
Place some message or Debug.print statements in your code to show the value of the request string. Verify that what you are asking is exactly what you are telling Access.

Please show us the code involved.

there is no code involved: on the form I created I type in a textbox- "file", then highlight the text and right click, select build hyperlink and then select my folder for that individual, should I be using code for individuals?
