[AccessD] RE: Hyperlink Field

I have set everything just as you have described - in A2K. The datatype is
Hyperlink in the table and a textbox on the form, the cursor changes to a
hand when I point to the field. In the field I put Microsoft.com, when I tab
or click on the field it shows Microsoft.com#http://Microsoft.com#, when I
exit the field it displays just Microsoft.com. I set the textbox to
IsHyperlink.

The only exception is when I click on the Microsoft.com it does not open the
URL, it just shows the address with the #'s -
Microsoft.com#http://Microsoft.com#.

I have tried deleting the textbox and recreating, but it still does not open
URL.

Using Access 2000, I use Hyperlink datatype in the table and just a regular 
textbox in a form.  No need to set the IsHyperlink property.  Cursor is a 
hand when the mouse goes over the textbox and it launches a browser instance

pointed at the URL when clicked once.  Text appears as plain text in the 
textbox.  If I store:

ezonemag.com

in the table, it appears as a hyperlink in the table but looks like plain 
text in the textbox.  Tab into the field and hit F2 (edit) and it changes 
from hyperlink to clickable text until the focus is off the text box again 
when it reverts to acting like a hyperlink but looking like text.  Text 
shown in the text box for the example is:

ezonemag.com#http://www.ezonemag.com#

I've never tried setting the IsHyperlink property True before today and the 
difference on my system (still running Win 95 on my current work machine, 64

meg peer 'server') is that it displays as a hyperlink in the textbox.  
Hitting the edit shows the same text, but underlined like a hyperlink, as 
though the IsHyperlink property was false.
