    Hyperlinks and Exporting access reports to rtf / excel


    I have a table with fields of Title, Description, and URL. I have a report with a text box, IsHyperlink set to yes and Control Source set to =[Title] & "#" & [URL] & "#" . When I open the report in report view, it works great - the Title is displayed as a hyperlink and if I click it, I go to the URL. However, if I export the report to rtf or excel, I only get the Title - it is not a hyperlink. Any ideas on how to get the display text (Title) and hyperlink address (URL) from the access report to Word rtf and excel would be much appreciated.

    You are using the export wizard? Sorry, don't think any way to keep the hyperlink identity intact.

    Yes, using the export wizard. Funny thing, if I export to PDF - the display text and hyperlink address remain intact just as it is in the report.

    Then I qualify my statement: can't retain hyperlink identity in export to Word or Excel.
