hyperlink and VBscript

[staypuffinpc]

OK, I've read and searched for an answer as to why in the world a hyperlink field in a table doesn't appear as a hyperlink in a data access page (you'd think that would be some code Microsoft could've included, wouldn't you? I mean, what's the internet without hyperlinks?) and haven't seen a response to anyone's inquiry on the subject, so if you are the one person out there who knows the answer to this question, PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON US ALL and enlighten us.

I thought maybe if I opened the script editor I could figure out some code that would turn the text box (that was originally a hyperlink) into a hyperlink based on the contents of that field, but I don't know any VBscript and therefore failed at the attempt. Is there some sort of script I could write to turn the box into a hyperlink to the contents of the field? If so, what? Thanks for your help ahead of time.

If you want the appearance of a hyperlink, then change the Text Color to blue. On Mouse Over change to Dark Blue or something similar. I'm sure there is a way to change the mouse pointer to a hand also if you really wanted to get technical.

Here is a link on how to use a control as a hyperlink. I know its for an image example, but you get the idea for Textboxes also.
