Are URLs active in Acess

[Guest]

I've created a database that includes things like phone number, email address
and web address. My employer wants to be able to click on a link in the data
base and have the website open up and active. Is that possible? The other
option would include would I guess have me covert the database into an excel
spreadsheet. I'd much rather leave it the way it is though. Any thoughts
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you store URL's in a hyperlink field, and bind a textbox to that
field, then clicking on the link will launch it. (The URL of an email
address must include the mailto protocol, e.g.
mailto:[email protected]
).

Alternatively, you can use stuff like
Application.FollowHyperlink "mailto:" & EmailAddress
in an event procedure
