I have a field with the data type as hyperlink. I have set the default field to go directly to a certain folder on the network. However, the link does not work because if you right click on the hyperlink, then click on Edit Hyperlink, the text box for the file name is blank. Only the text to display shows the default link.

How can I get the default link to show up in the text box for the file name? Any help is appreciated.

on a network I find that most "linking" of any file or type is problamatic due to being linked by a "mapped" drive. Instead use the (I forgot the term) format:

//Server//Data//File.mdb

Or whatever is your link to the server/and back.
