    Hyperlink Warning - Looking for a way to suppress this.

    I have a button on a form that has an associated hyperlink.The link is to some documentation (a docx file).It works as it should but I was getting a security warning so I created a "DisableHyperlinkWarning" registry entry.That works but only for Windows 10 - not 11.I tried a PDF and it made no difference.Any suggestions would be welcome.TIA,Mike

    BTW, the application i using the Access 365 32 bit runtime.

    Change the data type from Hyperlink to Short Text and use Application.FollowHyperlink in the click event of the button.

    Thanks for the reply. It works on Win 10 with a 2013 development environment but I still get a security message on Win 11 with the 365 runtime. Not to worry though, I simply replaced the hyperlink with some vba code to run a bat file that starts the doc file and all is well in both win 10 and win 11 worlds. I'd never heard of Application.FollowHyperLink so when I have more time I'll play around with it. Thanks again.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
