Hi all. In Access 2000, I am trying to make a hyperlink
on one form to open another form. When I use the wizard
(which of course makes it very plain how to do it), the
hyperlink won't work. I get a message when clicking that
the database can't follow the hyperlink because it
couldn't create the hyperlink object. Again, I used the
wizard, chose the form name from the list and everything.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Sandy,
- in Design View of the form use turn the Controls Wizard
off.

- Create either a command button or a label.
- if required, use F4 to display the Properties dialog.
- On the Format tab position the cursor in the Hyperlink
Subaddress field.
- click the Browse button (...).
- click Bookmark.
- select from the forms collection the target form.
- click OK, OK

Luck
Jonathan
