Sage 100

Has anyone added a button to a screen that simply opens a folder in Windows Explorer? Client has multiple files and file types for each finished good inventory item. Currently, there is a button for each type (instruction manual, schematics, etc.) They'd prefer to click 1 button and just get dumped to that item's document folder where they would then be able to see all the available files and choose which one to open.

Couple of things - you can write a VB script to launch a folder. This is possible. Or we do have instadocs which does the same thing and is a bit cleaner. Here is the manual http://development.dsdinc.com/enh/downloads/IMDM540.pdf

Nicole beat me to it. I've installed two or three InstaDocs the past few months. The benefit to InstaDocs is you can specify one common storage area keyed off various items (ex. Customer or Vendor or Inventory number) (as opposed to people needing to browse to a common area), view the files from within Sage using a new tab labeled InstaDocs, drag and drop to that folder right within Sage 100, use tags to organize. I think it's $1,000 per InstaDoc (AP, AR, IM, PO, SO) are available or $4k if you buy all 5 together.

Dim fNP tmpOpenFolder = ""C:\M90v2016\Concur"" Set fNP = CreateObject(""Wscript.Shell"") fNP.run ""%windir%\explorer.exe "" & tmpOpenFolder Set fNP = nothing You can add this to MyTasks.

Here is a snippet of some code that I use to open the explorer window in a script. The PDFPath is defined elsewhere. So to answer your question, it can be done with a button script. strPath = ""explorer.exe /e,"" & PDFPath wsh.Run strPath
