Update A Hyperlink

Apr 6, 2006

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?

Modules & VBA :: Bulk Update Of Hyperlink Text To Display Not Hyperlink

May 29, 2014

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?

Queries :: Update Hyperlink Display Text

Nov 7, 2014

So I have a table with 2 fields.The first field has the addresses to multiple hyperlink paths to folders on my computer.In this field the display text matches the hyperlink paths.In the second field I have the desired display text for field 1.I have tried using an update query to either:

1) Change the display texts of field 1 to match field 2 while preserving the hyperlink path
2) Add the hyperlink path from field 1 to field 2 without altering the display name.

I cannot get either one to work. Upon updating field 1, I lose the path, and upon updating field 2, I lose the name.

Hyperlink?

Dec 2, 2005

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?

Hyperlink - Need Help

Jun 28, 2007

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

Hyperlink Help

Sep 25, 2004

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?

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...

Hyperlink Decomposition

Jun 6, 2006

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

Hyperlink Security

Aug 23, 2007

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?

Hyperlink Question

Feb 14, 2007

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.
