[AccessD] Hyperlink Questions

[Bill Benson]

Thought hyperlinks simply open the documents they point to, no fuss. It is
a requirement of the hyperlink that has as it's subaddress an external file
to open that file in order to go to the "address". Don't know what enables
the action but that's how hyperlinks work. The followhyperlink events, if
they existed,  kick in after the target is arrived at. That way n Excel
anyway I think.
