Hyperlinks not always working...strange

[DanEaton]

I have a search form that displays the results of a cross-reference catalog search. The results are displayed on a continuous form such that many results are seen at once. I have among other things, a text box that shows a company's web-site in hyperlink form. This works about 50% of the time. However, for many of them, when clikced, nothing happens. Its kinda bizarre. I thought "well maybe whenever there is a bogus website, access won't go to it"...NOPE. They were all legit when I accessed them via I.E. Anyway, ever seen this? Thanks. Dan Eaton

I had same problems. Change the text box to a label with hyperlink. Now mine works every time.

Sorry, I don't think I understand how this is accomplished. If I'm not mistaken, labels simply display a caption. They don't display dynamic data do they? My text box is based on a table with different internet addresses based on different suppliers. If I have totally misunderstood the process please tell me. Thanks

I get the address from a table (data type is text - not hyperlink) and set the label's hyperlink address to that address with code.

I'm sorry, I still don't understand. By label, are you meaning to say textbox? I can understand what you mean if you're saying:

In the table, the data type is text NOT hyperlink. You then have code that somehow changes it from text to hyperlink (on the form only). This makes it work everytime.

Question 1: Does the text show up as blue and underlined on your form?
Question 2: What is this code?
