    Hyperlink add on


    Entering website with field type as Hyperlink. It seems when we click on that on the form then it somehow adds stuff on the back as per my attachment. I enter absa.co.za and the it adds #http://absa.co.za# Can I get it not to display the extras.Attachment 32469

    Don't use hyperlink fields - they cause issues like this
    Instead use text fields for web addresses
    Then use code like this:

    Code:
    Application.FollowHyperlink "http:///https://www.accessforums.net"
    I would also strongly recommend you do NOT use attachment fields as they cause significant database bloat
    Instead save the files externally & store the file paths in Access
