hyperlink to Publisher doco

[Rats]

In an access table I have hyperlinks to various documents mainly word docs. I have recently added a Publisher doc and when I H/L to it it will open the application but not the doco.

Obviously Publisher behaves differently than Word in this regard.

I do need the link to open the doc. Is there a way around this please?

Thanks

Peter

No, Publisher ought to behave just like any program that has its extension registered. That's handled by Windows, not Access. That the program opens but not the document sounds to me like Publisher can't find it.
Where is your hyperlink? In a table or on a form?

Hi NiNiel

Thanks for the response.
I maintain the list of hyperlinks in a table. But they are activated via a form.

Cheers

How are you entering them into the table then?

I don't have Publisher, so I used a PowerPoint file, a PDF file and a JPG file for a little test - in all three cases just dragging the file into the table worked. Dragging also worked when I used a form for data input.
