Thanks,
I was looking for an answer for this doubt and googled in your website.
It works flawless.

This should work…

“file:///” & Substitute( “C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Images\” & Field_Name ; ” ” ; “%20″ )
or
“file:///” & Substitute( “C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Images\” & Field_Name & “.jpg” ; ” ” ; “%20″ )

Depending on whether or not your field contains the file name suffix, you may need to add it manually.

Thanks this helped. But have trouble replacing the file name with a field that contains the file name. That is, the “image_11.JPEG” in your example above if replaced with a field that carries the file name … is not recognized.
With thanks again, A
