Ctrl + C [copy]
Ctrl + V [paste]

Is easy to use.

If not, what exactly are you [or the user] trying to do?

Hello

many thanks for the reply but this is what i am trying to do. Users will update a form about computer faults, if they find a site on a website they will simply copy the link and paste onto a text box in a form however this is not working as i am trying to make it work like Word where if you click on the link the IE will open up

Hope this helps

Check out the Application.FollowHyperLink function

You need to store the links as a text value, not a hyperlink.

Hi

I tried to Application.FollowHyperLink function but not sure how this works

If users paste or type into the weblink field how does it work when i next go on the specific field and try click on the text box (as the weblink is not highlighthed)

many thanks

Hi just reading my 1st post it may not be as clear as i thought it was

I am basically trying to do a textbox where users can type in a hyperlink (i.e. www.google.com) and then if the user clicks on the textbox it will open up the google.com

Many thanks
