Hyperlink fields in 98 and 2000

[Guest]

Hi everyone

Another problem that i just can't figure out

We currently have users that are using access 98 and access 2000 - not an
ideal situation but until we need to upgrade the pc's there is nothing i can
do.

I have a database that has been created in access 98.

On a form called frmdaily i have 2 hyperlink fields - these basically link
to a customers letter and a customers reply.

These work fine in 98 but do not work in 2000. Is there anything else i
could create so that both users can hyperlink?

Thanks for your help everyone xxxx

after searching through the boards i saw a suggestion to have a text field
with a link to the file that i want and then create a button with the
following coding
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink Me.Field1

End Sub

Works a dream on access 98 but when i try it in access 2000 i get an error
message - it's driving me absolutely bonkers, i have no idea what else to
try.

What error message do you receive?
A couple of things to look at: Is there a control and a field with the same
name? What happens if you put in a literal hyperlink instead of the
reference to the field?

Is there really an MS Access 98?

I think Outlook was the only Office application that had a 98 version. I
assume the confusion is between Windows 98 and Office 97.
