Is it possible to open and view a pdf file (icon or hyperlink) in a userform textbox for that particular customer record ? There are
many customer records each with a pdf invoice. I'd like to be able to view any pdf by clicking on a textbox icon or link for that customer (textbox in red frame). I can access any website using
Code:
 ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="https://www.nfcu.org", NewWindow:=True
but that's a website. If there is no way to open a specfic .pdf from clicking a textbox for that customer, then is there a way to refer to a pdf on
This PC using a hyperlink as in the above code ?
Thanks for anyone's help.

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Simply:
VBA Code:
    ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink "C:\path\to\Invoice 123.pdf"
change the path and file name as required.
