Hyperlink value crashes Access

Vanderghast,

THANK YOU... I didn't have the same environment to test. So perhaps this is
a bug. How many of these confirmations do we need to say... HEH, can
someone look at this?

Access 2003. Have you, you too, other Access versions on the PC with the
problem? (note that in my case, Access becomes "Not Responsive", here). I
don't know how to solve that problem, though (I am not using Access 2007).
Just to confirm there is a reproducible problem.

If I assign a hyperlink value to a cmd button or in code using the follow
hyperlink method, using a link value like
http://www.cookbookplus.com/Activate.aspx, the page is accessed [Internet
Explorer] OK, but the Access app crashes every time.

However, if I instead just target the main web site
http://www.cookbookplus.com that page is opened AND Access does not
crash.

Crashes also occur if a hyperlink field is populated with
http://www.cookbookplus.com/Activate.aspx

Again, that page is opened in IE, but Access crashes.
The targeted page is a simple, safe, publicly available page.

Am I doing something wrong; are .aspx pages prohibited in link values?

I am finally seeing my earlier posts; glad [but sorry] someone else can
reproduce this.

I only have full version of Access 2007, but I do have Access 2002 runtime
and Access 2007 runtime installed.

I'm guessing this is a security bug related to recently installing a new
(I'm developing still) Access 2007 app which will be distributed with latest
Runtime.

I packaged it 1 week ago and installed on my PC for a test.

I already had Access 2007 runtime installed, so installer went past that step.

The app works perfectly when run as accdb, accde, or accdr (packaged or not).

Otherwise, all code works perfectly in all my apps; and all has been
compiled OK.

Thanks,

Microsift today released an important update for IE 8 on Vista; I just
installed it; unfortunately, it did not fix the issue here.

..aspx links still crash (non responding until touch UI) Access.

FlyGuy,

I believe you have found a bug and it would really help if you could send me
a stripped down of your database. Here's hoping you're still watching this

Gina, I am still following thread.

Do not know what you mean by "stripped down DB"?

However, the issue (bug) is unrelated to any specific DB file; i can create
a new, 1 form, 1 button DB and immediately reproduce the Access 2007 crash.

All one has to do is try and use any link (using any method) from within
Access that targets an ASPX URL.

Please let me know.

Personally, I believe this is a break [or lock down] caused by a recent
Microsoft security update.

Accessing ASPX URLs used to work perfectly until very recently.

If necessary, I can provide a sample Access 2007 DB that demonstrates the
issue.

Please advise.

Thanks.

FlyGuy,

Since it doesn't happen on my machine I want to be sure I get a database
that exhibits the issue to submit. You can get my eMail address from my web
site http://www.regina-whipp.com I don't post it here because I really
don't want the spam.
