Blue underlined field on form

[reglarh]

I have an Access 2010 table which contains a field holding email an address. The format is ShortText. On most forms the field contents are shown in standard format, but on a couple the field displays in blue and underlined. The format of the field on each form has Hyperlink set to No. The filed does not act as a hyperlink.

Anyone have any ideas on why?

Check and see if the Display as Hyperlink property of the text box is set to Always. If not then I suggest comparing the properties of a text box with the blue underlined text with one that's not that way and see if there's any difference. Also is the same data causing the case with the blue underlined as the case without it?

Yes, they have the same pro
perties and yes, it's the same source field. That's what makes it so strange!

It's poking it with a stick, but I'd try adding another text box to both of these forms make the control source the same field and see what they do. The default text box does show data as hyperlinks so it shouldn't be blue and underlined in them.
