[AccessD] Hyperlink Questions

[Charlotte Foust]

Thanks Bill, I understand how they work, I just want to know why setting
the address after the button has been clicked causes the link to followed.
Maybe the after click event fires even though it isn't exposed in Access
and reads the address.  I just don't trust stuff I can't find an
explanation for.
