MS Access Hyperlink Data Type fields & Infopath

[MCMasotti]

Per MS documentation, Infopath 2003 form design does not support MS Access
Hyperlink and Memo data type fields (accessed via a MS Access Database Data
Connection). Does Infopath 2007?

If not, is there a built-in way to have a path & filename string, stored in
an Access database text field, behave as a hyperlink once the form is
published?

Thanks.

In order to work with large data types you need to switch to web services for
your database interaction then it is possible.

Otherwise you can enter the hyperlink text in a text field and then use it
as the source of a hyperlink control in your form.
