hey guys,

I have made a form for editing data and it has a Value_Source column which includes the URL of the data but I am trying to make a separate clickable link box so I can click it and it takes me to the corresponding website, any suggestions on how this can be achieved please?

The native way of doing it is will docmd.FollowHyperLink.

I would reccomend http://theaccessweb.com/api/api0018.htm as it not only opens hyperlinks it will also launch whatever files you need in their native application.
Hi
That should be Application.FollowHyperlink and it works perfectly for this task

I also use the fHandleFile code from the AccessWeb. I've also updated the API declarations to work in 64-bit Access & can supply the new version if needed
