Check hyperlinks work

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an Access (2002) db with about 700 URL's in it. I would like to be
able to check each URL to see if the link works. Currently, the URLs are
saved in a text field (not hyperlink).

Any help appreciated. Cheers.

It might be simplest to generate some HTML from your database, and then use
a tool such as Xenu Link Sleuth to give you a report:

Hey Allen,

Thanks mate, I will give that a go. I guess I was hoping that there would
be a "simple" method to iterate through my db and check each link one by one.
But I guess Xenu might be the answer (I had checked Xenu out before, but I
was hoping for a cleaner solution).

Cheers.
