    Link PDF on form

    Hi!

    I have some PDFs named like "PB_(ID).pdf" in a fix directory like / (root).
    I have a DB in the same directory and the ID of my data is equal the pdf document.
    My question is how can I create a dinamic link in the form to view a PDF file? Like this: I find an client for your ID: 12345. In the form with more details from "12345" I have a button that is a link to PB_12345.pdf. I know that I can make one by one, but I have a lot of IDs.

    Thank a lot!

    So your issue is "how do you put a string and a varible together to make a filename"?

    How about posting what you have that only opens up one PDF and we can make suggestions of what to change? What is the name of the control on your form that has the ID value you will need to use?
