Inserting Hyperlinks

[Thom]

Good morning,<br>I am scanning a volume of documents and saving them as the bar-code number on the face of each page i.e. '123.tif'.<br>Via a form in Access, I then need to enter this barcode number into a textbox and locate that 'tif' file and insert it as a hyperlink to the current record.<br>Hope someone can help.<br>Thanks<br>Thom

What kind of barcodes are they i.e. UPC, I-2of5, Code 39, Code93, SCC-14, EAN etc. <br>If they can be Code39. I have a Code39 True Type font I created that would save you vast amount of time.<br>So your Access report would just print the barcode like any other font.<br>We are using this on Invoice, PO, for Shelf bins, you name it.<br>Second a Hyperlink is somewhere on the Internet or Intranet<br>Are these images gotten from there?<br><br> <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.

I'm assuming you already have a table with a BarCodeNumber (or some other text field) and a field (I'll call Link) which has been defined as Type=Hyperlink.<br><br>Create a form with these two fields.<br><br>Open the form and right-click on the Link field.&nbsp;&nbsp;Choose Hyperlink/Edit Hyperlink from the shortcut menu. <p>Jim Conrad<br><a href=mailto:jconrad3@visteon.com>jconrad3@visteon.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
