Hyperlink in Data Entry Field

[hardhitter06]

Hi All (Access 2003),

I have an input and a search form that are identical. One of the fields is the vendor's website and I would like the user to be able to click in the field box and have Internet explorer/mozilla fire the link up.

I went into properties for the field and for the "Is Hyperlink" option, I selected Yes. The URL changes to blue but it still doesn't allow me to click the link and open a browser.

Was wondering what I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

It needs the http://..nevermind with that. I ha...e that clickable to be opened in Outlook '03?

Ok, I'm struggling this morning.

With regards to the website...you don't need the http://. On the input screen the hyperlink fires regardless if you have the "http://" or not. Regardless on the Search screen, the link will not fire...this is where I need some help..

And if anyone can help me with the email question, that'd be great too

Try making a button beside the e-mail address field that says "E-mail this user" with the following code:

FollowHyperLink "mailto:" & me.emailfield

As long as a default email client is setup, this should work.
