Generally, I would like to be able to view the contents of a specific text field in a form using an external application.
Specifically, I created an Access 2013 form that sources its data from an MS SQL Server 2008 R2 database. I would like to add a button to the form such that when a user clicks it, it saves the contents of a specific field to a text file in a pre-defined path and filename. Then I would like that file to be opened in a specific application located at a pre-defined path.
For example, the data type of the field is XML, and I would like to open the contents of that field in Notepad++.
Thanks!
Jim
