Hi.
When a generate the
report is it possible to make the links active in the report so that the user
can access the site by clicking on the link.

No. The Hyperlink property isn't carried through to the report. However,
the query you used as a Record Source for this report can be exported to an
Excel spreadsheet and the Hyperlinks will carry through.

To do so, select the query's name in the Database Window or open the query
in Datasheet View or SQL View and then select the Tools -> Office Links ->
Analyze it with Microsoft Excel menu, and a new spreadsheet file will be
created for you.

HTH.
