NEWBIE: hyperlinks on DAP

[Nick Harvey]

I've been trying to set up hyperlinks for both Websites and Email addresses
(from a contact database) on a DAP but with no success. I've tried everything
I can think of but the nearest I get is using the Serverfilter which returns
the website address at the end of a text statement tht includes
serverfilter=. I know it must be somehting simple that I'm missing but any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joe,

Apologies for the lack of information but I thought this would be the right
Forum. The version I'm using is Access 2003 and I'm trying to use the Data
Access Page function to do the proces I described. The computer is running XP
SP2. It is using the Access "Insert Hyperlink" that I am having a problem
with. I want the hyperlink (which displays the hyperlink correctly) to call
the address and insert it into the browser. It is this, under Access 2003,
that I am having difficulty with.

Nick,

I just saw your posting because I was having a similar problem. You might
want to try using a bound hyperlink on the data access page. I was trying to
use the results of an expression in a query to create a hyperlink on a DAP.
The query formats the result correctly, but I couldn't figure out how to turn
it into a hyperlink. The bound hyperlink control did the trick. Now the
results of my query, which formats address info into a mapquest url, takes me
right to the website and brings up a map and directions.
