Forms :: Hyperlink MailTo - Also Tries To Go To Webpage
Jan 7, 2014
MS Access 2000 - Quite simply, on a form I have an Email field and I have the "Is Hyperlink" property set to yes. In the On-Click event of this email field I use this single line of code below to open a new outlook (2007) email with the address already entered. Staff will be entering the email address themselves as part of the clients contact details Form.
Code:
FollowHyperlink "mailto: " & [Email]
This is all fine, however access also tracks [URL] .... onto the end of the email address and tries to also open a web page which obviously fails.
Is there something somewhere I can tweak that tells access to always only treat the text in this field as an email address, and when clicked open an email?

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 am trying to put my form on the internet so that many users can access the form, that way I can keep one copy of the database and have everyone simply use the webform to edit it. I have converted my forms into webpages and all seems fine except my subforms dont show. Also, my comboboxes become text boxes. How can I stop this from happening? Once I have everything in order, how would I go about putting the forms on the internet for use? Is it possible to password protect the form, so only certain people can use it?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
JetBlack

I try to open a web page with a form in access 2007. During the loading of the page it shows me 2 security error messages.
I tried to change the properties in Activex and especially the Silent property from No to Yes but this is not possible. In the next restart of the form restores the original settings.
When i open the same page with Internet Explorer it doesn't show any error. I have attached the database example to see exactly what happening.

Hi. I have a database which store the subject title of the mailto link using the upload form. I would like to construct a mailto link that picks up the suject title from my database. However, there are spaces in the subject and the mailto link cuts off at the first spacing. In my display page, I would like to replace the spaces with %20 but have had no success with any attempts.
This is the code that add the data to the database
rs.AddNew
rs("File Name") = fileName
rs("File Size") = fileSize
rs("File Data").AppendChunk fileData
rs("Content Type") = contentType
rs("Title") = "<td valign=top><table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign=top bgcolor=#a1be1e><font color =white><span class=mainNav4 style5>" & Title & " </span><span class=bodyC2 style5> </span></font color></tr>"
rs("Text") = "<tr><td valign=top><span class=bodyC2>" & Text & " </span>"
rs("Price") = "</span> <span class=style6><strong><font color=#FF6600> " & Price & "**each</font></strong></span>"
rs("Note") = "<br><span class=style6><em><font color=#a1be1e> Note:** " & Note & " </font></em></span><span class=bodyC2></span></td></tr>"
rs("Button") = "<tr><td><br><a href=mailto:GM@acx.com.sg?subject=" & Button & " class=outlinerCen> Enquire </a><br><br></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 valign=top><span class=dottttt>.................................................. .................................................. ...</span></td></tr></table><br>"
And this is to display
If NOT rs.EOF Then
Response.Write "<body><table width=350 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5><tr><td width=5 valign=top><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class=outlinerProducts><tr><br><td><img src=""file.asp?ID=" & rs("Id") & """width=130 height=130></td></tr></table></td>"
Response.Write rs ("Title") & "<br>"
Response.Write rs ("Text") & "<br>"
Response.Write rs ("Price") & "<br>"
Response.Write rs ("Note") & "<br>"
Response.Write rs ("Button") & "<br>"
rs.MoveNext
end if
Some assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all,
Is there an alternative to using the mailto function that will still open up outlook?
The problem right now is that the body length is too long, so the traditional string = "mailto:joeshmoe@blah.com?subject=test" will NOT work when attaching a message body that is over I think 220 characters or something.
I need to be able to still open up outlook with an extra long message body. Is this possible? Thanks.

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?

I created a table about films and i made a form so i can see each movie in a different record. I wanted to create a button which generates a link to the movie's internet website. But when i create a button i cant put a different hyperlink for each record of the form.
My idea is the button to have a logo of the site so that is why i cant just put a link in a text box. I also tried embedding a hyperlink to a picture but again i had the same problem.. there was only one hyperlink for all the records .

I would like to know if it is possible in Access 2007 to add a button/hyperlink where by the order number (as in the example below) is being sourced from another field [ORDNR]
i.e. replacing the 0996653 for example with a lookup to the ordernumber held in another column?!
[URL] .....
this link is one from a web url - I want to copy this in my DB.

I've set hyperlinks to a couple of forms using the hyperlink address in properties. All works fine, and I've done it this way because the cursor changes to pointy hand when hovering over.
However, I need to navigate to a tabbed form in a main form.
Is there a way of doing this? I've been searching all sorts, and the most probable is to concatenate the destination?
description##Page1#page2... or something like that?
Is this correct?
What ever I've tried doesn't work, this includes ...
adding the main form destination to Hyperlink Address, and tabbed form in the SubAddress (Can't find main form)
Using the hyperlink builder. (Can't find anything)
Objects in this database (Only one form).

I may be going about this all wrong but I have a text box that is Hyperlink to a directory that opens fine and gives me access to files that I need. What I want is to place a photo of a particular button I've found (in the form) and on the click event have the hyperlink in the text box activate and open the directory.
1. I can't change the shape of the text box or place a picture within it...
2. I can set the pictures control source as the hyperlink text box but that serves no purpose...
3. I lazy manned it buy making the text box transparent and all the text white then overlay-ed the picture ...it worked but I would like the appropriate way to do this.....being at such a critical stage of my access development......

I'm using Access 2007.
I have a customer table attached to a form.
I want to put a command button next to the customer's email address so that the user simply presses the button and Outlook will be started with the customer's email address automatically inserted from the table.
I am playing around with the Hyperlink Address function and whilst this seems to do what I want, I can't figure out how to get the customer's email address from the tabel and insert it......

.I'm trying to pass a field ([txtUPRN]) in a form to a hyperlink or button on the form.
e.g. [URL]
I thought I could add a hyperlink and simply change the part 'jlocation = 26800' to 'jlocation = Me![txtUPRN]' but this would be too easy as it doesn't work. THe URL still opens a web page but displays no data. Do I have to be more explicit as to what I'm passing in i.e. use the full form name or am I going about this the wrong way?

I am attempting to create a form (Access 2013) that will include buttons to open the hyperlink menu to add a hyperlink into a table. It works if you click "Ok" without issue, however, if you click "Cancel" or click on the "X" I get a "Run-time error '2501' - The RunCommand action was cancelled". This is obviously referring to the RunCommand in the VBA code. The code does not reference the cancel or close option of the hyperlink editing box. I don't know how to correct this error.
Code:
Private Sub Command9_Click()
Me.[Hyperlink].SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdInsertHyperlink
Command9_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub
[code]....
Also, is there a way to get the hyperlink to populate as the full network path and not the drive letter?

I am just checking to see if anyone knows of a way (or a plugin download) that will allow me to create some sort of box that has a pre-specified website in it. It would be something like www.usps.gov, because sometimes our reps need to look something up, and it would be nice to have it right there. But the website that they will use has a login/password. So i will need some sort of "reset" button that will take them back to the main page in case it times out. Anyone know of anything?

Hi,
I've currently got apache/asp up and running, I'm just wondering how I display an access database, or if there is any tutorials about to do this.
I should point out here, that ASP is an entirely new language to me, and I really haven't got a clue how to write in it, I do have a solid programming with software and such.
What I'm trying to avoid is, some kind of prefab made by "access" itself display, as the data in the database has to be displayed in a certain way.
If anyone could give me some advice on where to start on this adventure, I'd be glad to hear your comments and sudjestions, as I'm currently

I have 3 attachment boxes in my table that appears in a form.each attachment box contains specific files (not specific as in extension such as PDF, JPEG, etc.) but specific as in Company Documents, Certifications, Resumes. The issue is there's a lot of document and I see my database growing (fast)...My question finally is....
Can I use a Hyperlink to open a folder within a specific directory where multiple file are located so i can open the specific file need there RATHER than attaching them in the attachment box individually?.?.....If not how this can be done (no SQL) unless that route is very simple and basic coding.
My thinking would be to place the file path to the documents in the table and hyper link that column in the table, but not knowing exactly how Hyperlinks work I don't think it would actually work..

I am investigating on the possibility of setting up an approval process for our employee intake procedure by using MS Access and Outlook.
The idea is for the requester to open an intake form in Access and fill in the new employee's information and send an Outlook email to the manager for approval. I know how to trigger off an event on the form to send an email to the manager but my challenge is how to create a hyperlink in the email for the recipient to directly open the intake form with the specific record, without the need to open the database and find the specific intake form.
The intake form is built in a frontend .mde file on a shared drive where all users have access to.

I have a continuous subform on my main form where one text box is a hyperlink that opens a form. All is well, except....
When the mouse hovers over the text box of the top record, the cursor does not change to the hyperlink pointed finger thing (it's I-beam), even though the text in the textbox displays in hyperlink format.
If I hover over the hyperlink/text boxes of records 2 thorough x, the hand-cursor appears.
More info:
1. The hyperlink functions normally (i.e., the appropriate form opens to the appropriate record)
2. When I then return to the main form, the hand-cursor magically appears when hovering the first record.
3. I have 2 other continuous subforms on the same main form that behave the same way.
