Database Results Hyperlink column

[Shona]

I created a search form which accesses a hyperlink column in Access but I
can't get the column to reduce in size when it shows the results. This
makes the other columns too small.

Any help would be great

Cheers Shona

Select the column in the finished Database Results Region,
then choose Font from the Format menu.

Do you have a field in the database associated with the hyperlink field that
describes the hyperlink? If so, then display that as the results. If not,
then you need to create one, as hyperlinks will not wrap.

Yes the field in the database is a hyperlink field. The only way around I
have found is to reduce the size of the text in the results table and
condense the charater spacing by 1pt.

Thanks

Be sure to test this approach in other browsers besides IE, such as NS4, 6
and 7, etc.

Thanks but this is an Intranet site so all users have the same browser but
it's useful to know for future use.

Thanks Shona
