03/15/2010 HanDBase Desktop FileLink Plugin [Plug-In]
This is an External field plugin for the HanDBase Desktop that allows for launching/opening of Files, Website and even starting Emails from directly within HanDBase. A sample database, FileLinkPlugin.PDB is included to demonstrate how this Plugin works. It has Filename, Website and Email fields to show those functions work. The Files will obviously not launch, enter your own path and file name to test this. The Open Website and Send Email functions will work. Check the DB Properties to see how these fields are set up. See the comments below for installation instructions.
