linking a URL

[nason]

I create static HTML pages of the new books we recieve in the library each month. I want to link the record of the book in the library database, which is a URL, to the title of the book on the static HTML. I do not want to display the URL(they can be long and messy) I just want the title to be a hyperlink. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

what are you using to create the 'static html' page?

To create the static HTML page I export a query and save it as HTML.

think you will have to edit the html file...

it will create an entry like:
<A HREF="http://www.somepage.com/">http://www.somepage.com</A>
you need someting like:
<A HREF="http://www.somepage.com">my book name</A>

if you changed the extension to .txt you might be able to use a word macro to search and replace...then change the extension back to html.

hth,
