Can I display clickable Hyperlinks in a report?

I have a database table which contains information about documentation that is stored on our network file server.
I am able to search for a specific doc and display the specific information in a report but I would also like to
display the hyperlink to the file so that a user can click on it to open a file referenced in the report.

I added a hyperlink field in my table and copied the hyperlink for each document to the corresponding hyperlink field
but now when I try to display the report in ACViewPreview, it seems to chug away and I end up closing the report before
long as I am not sure if it is tying up resources.

Is it possible to (and if so is there a preferred way of) displaying the hyperlink text in a report so that a user
can click on the link in a report to view the document selected?

Thanks
