I want to be able to click on one of the fields in my report (this is the same field for every record, just a different value and the values are unique) and be directed to a form viewing the record I clicked on. Therefore every record would have the same field which would appear as a 'hyperlink' and upon clicking it it would take you to a form with more information about that particular record. Is this possible on a report?
 
Not on a report. You're looking for web-like features; unfortunately Access reports are like pieces of paper in almost every way. As far as I know you can't even do a text search on a report.

Solution: build a form that you design to print out like a report. You can do all sorts of searching, hyperlinks and whatnot on a form.
 
That's what I was afraid of. I just needed someone to verify for me. Thanks!!
