I have an unbound field txtMyField which I want to fill with a hyperlink after entering data in another field. So I put the Is Hyperlink setting to yes, and some code to populate the field. But I cannot click the link. It is just like text.
How can I amend this so that it is clickable?
Thanks,
Dave
I have a form, and on that form I have a textbox called RefDwgNo (user not allowed to make changes...just for viewing). Displayed in this textbox is the name of a file (without the .pdf extension). I changed the textbox to 'is hyperlink' and added to OnClick- this code:
Private Sub RefDwgNo_Click()
FollowHyperlink "***private***engineering_data***Private***Des ignFitoutLabel Plate\_LATEST REV"
End Sub
The user needs to actually open the .pdf file, not the folder its located in. How do I add the file name from this textbox to the code above?
I am trying to create a button that opens up a webpage. I get how to create a hyperlink on a button. The problem is, I need to open a specific page depending on the information in a text box.
The text box displays the tracking number for the current record. That number is populated automatically via a control source. The problem is that I need to open different web pages depending on the tracking number displayed. For example, UPS has a specific start to their number (1ZX....). Other trucking companies have a specific format, also.
So how do I tell it to look at the tracking number and then open the corresponding web page?
i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am creating a database for creating quotations. The quotation number is generated using the date, for example the first quote today would be quote number "05202015-1" because it is the first one today. The next quote today would be quote number "05202015-2" and so on. Is there a way to make access automatically generate these quote numbers based on the date?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a very simple code to fill automaticly an hyperlink field when a text box is updated on a form:
Me.txtHyperlink = "F:DataCPPCPP PDF" & [TxtPipeSize] & "" & [DrawingFile] & "" & [PartNumber] & ".sht" & [TxtSheetNo] & ".Rev" & [TxtRevNo] & ".pdf"
TxtHyperlink is bound to the hyperlink field, when the code is executed the Hyperlink field is filled with the right address. but I think the code just fill the text to display "parameter" of the hyperlink field and not the actual adddress.
what should I do to get the result of the function to be saved as the Hyperlink address?
Hey guys.
I am VERY new to Access, and trying to learn as fast as I can, but I have no idea how to do this.
I have a database, brand new, it will eventually be holding hundreds of docs. Anyway, we have it as a document naming machine. We insert all the data associated with our document, it stores it and gives us a name for the doc, we then save that doc as a pdf with the name given.
After this, we are going to put all the documents in one central folder on our network drive, as follows:
F:FolderAccessDocuments*.pdf
So, what I need is to create an automative hyperlink creater, that will take our document name once created, put it on the end of the "F:FolderAccessDocuments" and have the hyperlink sitting there ready to go.
One more thing, I need to be able to change my Initial Drive Directory (from "F" to "E") at any point in time, and the switch would have to go through and change every hyperlink.
If anyone can help with any part of this problem, I would appericiate it.
Thanks Guys!

I have a Hyperlink field (can be a text field if necessary) that is intended to open the document listed in the field. I have all of these documents stored on a server and I have set up another field that contains the path to the server directory. So, at the time I click on the document link, I want to concatenate the path with the document name, so I can open the file. This will enable me to not have to type the full path everytime I enter a new document name.
I tried setting up the field as a text field and I can concatenate the path and document name, but then I cannot open the file. I want to be able to pass the concatenated variable to the Windows OS and have it launch the document, regardless of the file type.
Any thoughts?
I have been searching the forums and all I could find was how to hyperlink to outside url such as www.google.com and likewise.
I am looking for some kind of code or a direction that will help me hyperlink between records in my form.. best method probably would be using an ID number.
Any ideas?
Hello. New to this, but am creating a hyperlink in a new form. Using Edit Hyperlink, I direct the program to open a PDF format file. All seems fine, the path is relative to the main file, (although it does display %20 between all separate words, why?), but when I click on it, the warning :
"No prgram is registered to open this file". This file itself is fine, and opens happily when dble clicked. The hyperlink works fine when opening a Doc file. Help as I need this working...
I want to have a hyperlink on my form, that when clicked it will open a specified webpage. It will be the same hyperlink every time so doesn't need to be stored in the database.
How do I do this?
I am about to be tasked to redesign a database which is a total dogs dinner.
Everything is wrong basically
I can handle that but there are also some 11000 hyperlinks
Some are relative and some have full path specified, However all have display text.
Is there a way that I can access the specified path and dump this into a text field.
Thought is to create text field alongside the hyperlink field, dump the text value of the hyperlink and I can then manipulate the hyperlink text as I wish.
Is there a function like
Hyperlink_Field.Path
so in an update query I could update the text field to Hyperlink_Field.Path

I have a form with a Command button. i have a text box also which is
bound to my
Button. i have created a standard module and created an onclick event
for my button
which is something like this ( if a user clicks on the button it will
give an option
to user to add a file. The Path of that file will be copied to the
textbox which is associated
to my control or button.) i changed the data type also for my textbox
to
Hyperlink so then
when a user clicks on that path which is in the textbox it will
automatically open that document. Well for
some reason it is not working. any
help or suggestions will be really appreciated.
Thanks
Morning everyone,
I have a really persistant problem with my database whereby whenever I click on a hyperlink (in the database) to a Jpeg file it will display an error message, "unknown file format" then open the file as normal. The access windows then crash.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so doe anyone have a solution or a way round it!?
Any help much appreciated, have a good day :)

Hello - thanks in advance.
I have buttons that link to external WORD and EXCEL files with the hyperlink property. I also use the Application.FollowHyperlink method to open some files.
I find that files with the .txt extension produce a pop up warning, that hyperlinks are potentially unsafe, do I really want to open the file.
If I click YES then the file opens.
It is not consistant. .xls files open without the warning, but .csv files do produce the warning, even though both open in Excel.
I've set the macro-->security option to LOW.
I want to get rid of those warnings if I can.
I've tried docmd.setwarnings false also.
Any idea?
Hi, I think this is only my second post (found i have made a few, lol) in over a year because I can usually find what im after on this site or I just hack stuff together till it works, lol.Anyway my question:How can I download a hyperlink (its an excel spreadsheet, CSV file to be exact i believe) to a certain place and name?I wish to do this roughly once a day for about 10-14 files. then these will be imported to the database. but first thing will be a fairly automated downloader if possible.any third party software will be fine but id rather have access do it with a code behind a button etc. Thankyou for any/all suggestions.
View 14 Replies View RelatedSorry if this is a basic stupid question but I am new to access and developing a database for my company while I learn access from a book. I am using hyperlink in a table to allow quick access to job folders on our network, but everytime I click the hyperlink it uses windows explorer to open the folder and I would like to avoid this by having the folder opened in a new window, by its self. Windows Explorer opens the door too many mistakes happening so I want my user to see the folder they need to and that is all. I hope that explains it well enough. I greatly appreciate any help.

Is there any way to edit the hyperlink field in my table, I'm thinking along the lines of an update query?
The database has thousands of records and the user has not typed any text into the 'Display Text' part of the hyperlink. This means that the stored hyperlink is double size because if no text is entered into the display text part then access uses the hyperlink string. This is a problem for me later on in the design.
I have tried a simple update query and this updates the display text as required but also loses the hyperlink itself, which I want to remain unchanged.
Any ideas?
