Hyperlink troubles

2
I have a database in which I have created a form for users to access information. There is one combo box which is used as the contol for the other text boxes. In addition I have a text box which holds a hyperlink to an associated file, this is the cause of my troubles. The control source for this box uses a dlookup to pull the hyperlink field from the table based on the current record in the combo box. It displays the proper record, however, the hyperlink does not work. I get blue, underlined text, that looks like a hyperlink, yet I cannot select it. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

You're going to have to change the field to a label and in the On Current event of the form, you can change the label.HyperlinkAddress property from there.

Thanks for the reply, I need the hyperlink to be dynamic, if the combo box selection changes the link does too, this does not seem to be working.

Then you're going to have to put the code in the After Update event of the combo box.

Open the control properties and make sure the IsHyperlink property is set to yes.

You need code to set the Caption of the label to the new value.
You will need to type out .Caption in full as it doesn't prompt from the list for some reason.
