Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to have hypertext links that link to external documents from within a Report?

I have a hypertext field on my table/form and I would when I do a report the info that is displayed in the form (screen tip) is displayed in the report but I not so that someone can click the link and be taken to the document.

The way I am having to do this is explain to people that they will need to make a note of the UID and then close the report, type the UID in the search box and then click the link on the form. which as you can see is long winded and it requires everyone to know what to do, and not everyone will read the help that I've provided.

thanks in advance Tezdread

I have just tried a hyperlink field in a report. It displays OK, but will not let you click on it, so I guess the answer to your question is no. Have fun! :eek:)
