Launching Hyperlink

[John]

If i have a report that as one of the fields contains a
list of hyperlinks to pictures stored on the hard drive,
how do i generate a report that will display the link and
will allow the user to click on the link and automatically
launch the file? Thanks a lot

Reports don't do that.

Use a form in Continuous or Datasheet view instead.

Closest thing you can get is convert the report to a PDF using win2pdf and
it will change text that looks like a hyperlink to an actual hyperlink.

You can export the form to an htm or html file. The hyperlink should be automatically created if it's displayed on the report.
