    Adding Hyperlink into Textbox with Text


    Is it possible to combine a hyperlink with text data in the same textbox. For example, If I wanted to have a field that contains hotel information, and I type the name of the hotel and add a link for directions in the same textbox. Can one textbox contain both text and hyperlink data? Or would this have to be two different fields?

    Kinda figured so. So, with a compiled database, is it possible for the user to just copy and paste a URL into the hyperlink field, and then Access will activate it?

    But the field data type has to be hyperlink too, right? I'm actually using SQL server, so what would be the data type for the field that I want to automatically convert isnerted text into an active hyperlink?
