If this is not for distribution, you can use Filer. I have a function called SearchFileInNetwork, which does it using Filer.
>I am trying to do some e-mail automation. My challenge is the attachments. The user types the documents to send with the e-mail into a table. I can then build a string from this table data to include the attachments for the e-mail that works just fine. The problem is knowing the file path to the documents. I would like to use some code to search for the document number the user types in and return the file path ito an associated field of the above table. I am not sure this is possible since the documets are scattered over the network in various locations. I have thought about when the document text box loses focus to do the locfile() function on the document number. Only I am afraid the Open Dialog box might be confussing. I just don't know the best approch.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
