Hyperlinks

[K3ith]

Can anyone inform me as to change the read only property of a hyperlink. When I create a new hyperlink through some code i keep getting this message, "The hyperlinkaddress or hyperlinksubaddress property is readonly for this hyperlink". I do not have the hyperlink open it is just stored as a record in my table for later use.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
Keith

Well, my guess is that you display the hyperlink in a text box on a form.
Don't try to change the Address or SubAddress properties...they are indeed read only... Change the hyperlink itself:

Me("HyperlinkTextBox&quot = "#

http://www.tek-tips.com#"

or

Me("HyperlinkTextBox&quot= "#ftp://ftp.artrom.ro/AutoMail97.zip#"

or

Me("HyperlinkTextBox&quot= "#mailto:someone@somedomain.com#"

or

Me("HyperlinkTextBox&quot= "#C:\winzip.log#"

or
Me("HyperlinkTextBox&quot= "#\\ServerName\Sharename\FileName.txt#"

HTH,

Dan
