    hyperlinks dropping their address

    Has anyone else had a problem with random (not all) hyperlinks dropping their address?
    The displayed text, which is the same as the address, is always fine, but thi address will be blank.

    I have a user that this is happening to on a very frequent basis. I'm prone to say that its problem of a different program (but I'd better be damned certain before I do...!)
    I haven't heard of any other users of the same project having this problem, but then they may be suffering in silence (as usual, "some" are much (MUCH) more vocal than others.)

    ANY thoughts, suggestions, or anything else will be greatly appreciated in advance!

    Are the actual hyperlink addresses saved in a table?

    the table has a field whose data type is hyperlink, and the hyperlink data entry can be right-click edited to show the "text to display" and the "address"; but there are not separate fields in that table for each (text to display and address).
    curiously, what gets dropped is ONLY the address portion of the field; the text to display stays in tact

    The user who is having problems, by chance, do they right click on the hyperlink on the form , at which point they could actually delete the hyperlink? Since it's only one user (so far) I tend to lean toward operator error. Out of curiosity, where does the hyperlink go?

    the user never right clicks the link (actually asked this particular user, and they didn't even know that you could !); t here actual address is never displayed.
    the links that I know of as having the problem direct to opening a *.jpg file on the company's file server (haven't seen this where a link would be to the http or www; that direction wouldn't be relative in this instance...)

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
