Hello,
I have a text field in a database which I save a url address.
The url address looks like any other ie http:....
however when it is saved into the database Access throws
a '<' less than sign and a greater then sign '>' around the address.
This causes problems when another system reads the database and pulls in these invalid characters. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to make it stop?
We tried changing to hyperlink field datatype but that sent us in another direction further than what we had started with to begin with. We just want the address to store properly. Thanks!
 
how is the data fired into the database?

I suspect it's more of a front end issue...
