Hyperlink Problems, Please Help....
Apr 25, 2005
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 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 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!
Chris

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?

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

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?

Sorry 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?

Hello,
Is there a way to get a hyperlink to work on a report viewed in access? I am trying to see if it is possible to have a link on a report that opens a certain form. I saw a topic on MS site that said something about hyperlinks did not function when viewed on a report in access. Just wanted to check if there was a different way to do this or not. Thanks for the help.

Let me explain my problem and say that I've found a partial fix to my problem, but I need help figuring the rest out.
I need to open a hyperlink on the internet and populate it with data based on a form record in my database. More clearly, I need to do a search on an address on a website called zillow.com, based on that address in my form in the db. For example, if the property address in my db is 123 Anywhere St., Topeka, KS 99999, I need to click a button that will open zillow.com, and populate the address and city/state/zip fields with the corresponding info from the record in the db. Here's what I've got so far:
VB Code: Original - VB Code Application.FollowHyperlink "http://www.zillow.com", , True, False Application.FollowHyperlink "http://www.zillow.com", , True, False
Here's the deal. When you do the internet search on zillow, it puts in %20 for every space and I can't figure out how to parse the record to automatically put these characters in.
I'm wondering if there's a way to tell the db in code to do this:
Application.FollowHyperlink "http://www.zillow.com/search/Search.htm?addrstrthood=2200%20Corley%20Drive&citystatezip=Las%20Cruces%2C%20NM%2088001", , True, False
I hope someone knows what I'm talking about. Thanks!
