If I understand your post, you're trying to associate a hyperlink address to a textbox control.

You may want to look into the Textbox.Tag property. The Tag Property allows you to store a value that can be later retrieved.

For Example, in your Form's Load() procedure, you can do something like this:

Text1.Tag = "http://domainexample.com/help/HelpTopic1.html"

Then maybe you have a "Get Help" button on your form, and you can add something like this:

If ActiveControl.Tag <> "" then
     FollowHyperlink ActiveControl.Tag
End If
