HyperLink error "No Program registered ..."

[RycherX]

I added a hyperlink object to my form. I referenced the link in the "edit hyperlink" screen to http://www.google.com
When I try to click on it, I get the error "Unable to open http://www.google.com. No program is registered to open this file."



Am I required to reference hyperlinks in a table? Is this a memory problem on my machine?

I was wondering how would access know to use Internet Explorer as the browser?

that is a system message (not Access); it would seem only that you haven't set up a default application (probably IE - but maybe Firefox or whatever...) to the .com file type.....
