Well, first we need an example of what exactly is in the database.

Please clarify if your database field contains a simple URL, or an actual HTML anchor tag with text inside.

My Database Contains a Simple URL For example

The database Field type is set to hyperlink

Also in the database field i have these settings

Required - yes
Allow Zero length -no
Indexed - Yes (no Dups)
Unicode commpression -yes

well i actually don't know what the field type "hyperlink" does. If it were me, I would set the field type to text, then do this:

<%
Response.Write("<a href=""" & codeforDBoutput & """>" & codeforDBoutput & "</a>")
%>

replace "codeforDBoutput" with code for your data's display
