From: Tammy S. on 10 Mar 2010 13:04 I have a hyperlink to a wiki that opens in my database window. I have to click the back button to return to the database. Can the wiki be opened in a seperate window?

From: Tammy S. on 11 Mar 2010 09:09 The wiki is on an intranet, providing it won't help you get to it and company policy won't let me share it. I used insert, hyperlink to included it in the form. Should I have used a command button instead? If so, don't know how to make it open Internet Explorer.

Clicking an http: hyperlink shouldn't cause the web page to open in your database window, but rather in your default web browser. That's why I asked what the hyperlink address is. But if it's policy not to reveal it, I understand. It might help to know the overall format of it, though. Is this hyperlink stored as a hyperlink field in a table? What sort of control is it attached to? How did you insert it? As Doug Steele suggested, you can add a (non-hyperlink) command button to your form that executes the statement: Application.FollowHyperlink <your URL> That ought to open the hyperlink in your web browser. But I don't understand what is going on with your current hyperlink, and I'm very curious. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup) |
