Cannot Edit Hyperlink

[dchman]

I have an existing form which has a hyperlink. Currently the value is fixed
to an "Address". I want to change it to link to a "Data Source". I
right-click the field and select "Edit Hyperlink". I change the "Link To"
from "Address" to "Data Source" and select the value, then click OK. After I
save the template and return to the hyperlink, it has been reset to "Address"
with a value of "http://address". I'm new to Infopath, so I'm not sure what
I am doing wrong. Any ideas? (Infopath 2007)
thanks

Hi,
Sometimes the hyperlink behaves like this. I too faced this problem many
times. I solved my problem by deleting the existing hyperlink and adding the
new one.

Hope this will helps to you.

me right in the face. thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to create a dynamic hyperlink to a network-shared file which will be identified by the form user. The user pastes the file location into an infopath field. I tried using concat and the field value to generate syntax required by infopath to create the hyperlink as a datasource link. Every time I add or edit the hyperlink to my design form, the hyperlink defaults to an address link of "http://address". I've had no luck search the web for another solution.

Any other ideas?

The workaround for me was to directly modify the XSL file associated with the
view on which I was trying to place the hyperlink.

Locate the hyperlink in said file and change it to look something like the
following:

<a class="xdDataBindingUI" title="OpenHyperlink" tabIndex="0"
xd:disableEditing="yes">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="../my:HyperlinkURL"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<font size="3">Click Here to Open a Hyperlink</font>
</a>

Pretty lame that we have to do this, but such is the world of Infopath.
