Hyperlink not a hyperlink?

SBCUser666
7 New Member
Form field (Text66) defined as Hyperlink.
Access 2003 table field defined as Hyperlink.
Using VBA I build the hyperlink and poke it into the form field. The field displays like it is a hyperlink (blue and underlined) but clicking on it does nothing. If I open the table and click on the field nothing happens. On the form, if I delete and retype just 1 character the hyperlink functions correctly (on the form and from the table). Thinking that setting the form field = to a text string somehow removed the hyperlink attribute I then did a Me.Text66.IsHyp erlink = True to hopefully force the hyperlink function. No joy.

Ideas?

This is a very common problem that many Users encounter when dealing with Hyperlinks. Assuming your Form Field is named txtHyperlink, write the Display Text then Address delimited by a Pound Sign (#) to make it a functional Hyperlink as in:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 'To write the Microsoft Home Page as a Hyperlink to the txtHyperlink Field on the Active Form
  2. Me![txtHyperlink] = "Microsoft Home Page" & "#" & "http://www.microsoft.com/"

I had posted this problem earlier and just noticed that the Hyperlink is the problem. Apparently, it doesn't figure out the path correctly. It uses the path of the file it is in, even if it is a control.
