hyperlinks won't open

[Guest]

hi..

I have a form that allows me to select a file to store with each record.
The path to the file is hyperlinked and stored in the table. When I try to
open the file (i.e. click on the hyperlink), nothing happens. I have tried
several different file types. for example. Record 1 has a hyperlink of
c:\documents\test.doc, record 2 has a hyperlink of c:\documents\test.tif,
etc... I'm using Access 2003. Any ideas why my hyperlinks will not open the
files?

thanks,
erin

I'm still working on this... and haven't made any progress. Does anyone know
if there's a setting that i'm missing or some formatting issue that i'm not
thinking of that is preventing my hyperlinks from opening the original files?

thanks,
erin

I haven't been following this thread, but have you tried using code
behind the click event ... like this

Application.FollowHyperlink Nz(Me.[YourTextBoxNameHere],"")
