Importing websites into Access so that they work!

[betsytw]

Hi,
I import websites from an Excel file into an Access table. The field data type is hyperlink in Access. The format of the data in the Excel file varies and could be any of the following examples:

http://www.superuser.com

superuser.com

http://www.superuser.com

http://superuser.com

https://superuser.com

https://www.superuser.com

I need to figure how I can edit the data after it is imported into Access (or perhaps by a macro in Excel before importing) so that it gets stored in this format:

http://www.superuser.com

(or whatever the field is when it is imported)#

http://superuser.com#

so that when a user clicks on the website field, the link will take them to the website. If just the

http://www.superuser.com

part is in the field, the link does not work. How can I add the #

http://website#

part to the 'displaytext' which is ultimately what gets imported.

Hope I am being clear enough! Thank you!!

So if you have (from your example): "superuser.com", would you add to the beginning of it "

http://www."

or "

https://www."?

Have fun.
