title: VBA: Howto open a file, that has # -characters in it's name?
body: <p>I have an access database front-end, and on a buttonclick, certain files are opening, with the software they are associated with.
  The code to achieve this is the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>If (IsNull(Me.filepath)) Then Exit Sub
  If (FileFolderExists(Me.filepath)) Then
      If (isFolder(Me.filepath)) Then
          Shell "explorer.exe " &amp; Me.filepath, vbNormalFocus
      Else
          FollowHyperlink Me.filepath
      End If
  End If
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Well, this is all good and working, but the file won't open, if the filename contains # symbols. Wich is unfortunatly the case: Some of the filenames look like this: 13_tamogatodontes##1911_201001.pdf</p>
  
  <p>I tried to find some answers with google, and on msdn, did not found any useful info.
  Does somebody know how to solve this problem?</p>
