    Question Force Form (Image) Hyperlinks to Open in Web Browser


    Access seems to let the PC decide which app to open hyperlinks in which is fine however I would like to force it to open images in the default web browser (as PDFs behave).

    Is it possible to force Access to open images in the default web browser (just like Adobe Reader)?

    Not sure what you mean by 'as PDFs behave'. My PDFs open in Adobe Acrobat Pro because that is my default for PDF files, they don't open in web browser.

    PNGs & JPGs hyperlinks within a PDF, open in the default web browser.
    PNG & JPG hyperlinks from Access open in the default picture viewing application.

    Are you using FollowHyperlink method? I don't think this offers any option. Probably would have to use Shell. Review http://www.utteraccess.com/wiki/inde...es_From_Access
