I've been trying to set up hyperlinks for both Websites and Email addresses
(from a contact database) on a DAP but with no success. I've tried everything
I can think of but the nearest I get is using the Serverfilter which returns
the website address at the end of a text statement tht includes
serverfilter=. I know it must be somehting simple that I'm missing but any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What is a "DAP?"

Sorry. This is a newsgroup dedicated to questions about Access, a
Microsoft database program. It appears your question may not be related to
these subjects. The Microsoft help system is not all that clear and may have
misdirected you here.

It is best to ask your questions in a newsgroup dedicated to the
subject of your question. You should find people better able to address
your problem there.

Note: It is always best to indicate the name and version of any
program(s) you may be using when asking a question and also indicate the
operating system (like Windows XP or 98) when you ask a question.
 
Hi Joe,

Apologies for the lack of information but I thought this would be the right
Forum. The version I'm using is Access 2003 and I'm trying to use the Data
Access Page function to do the proces I described. The computer is running XP
SP2. It is using the Access "Insert Hyperlink" that I am having a problem
with. I want the hyperlink (which displays the hyperlink correctly) to call
the address and insert it into the browser. It is this, under Access 2003,
that I am having difficulty with.
 
Nick,

I just saw your posting because I was having a similar problem. You might
want to try using a bound hyperlink on the data access page. I was trying to
use the results of an expression in a query to create a hyperlink on a DAP.
The query formats the result correctly, but I couldn't figure out how to turn
it into a hyperlink. The bound hyperlink control did the trick. Now the
results of my query, which formats address info into a mapquest url, takes me
right to the website and brings up a map and directions.
