Create an Internet link from Access

[aas1611]

Hi all,

I have a text field in my form, which is an article number (only the number, let's say 90386). This number is related to an article on my website. Let's say the link in my website is

http://www.versicherungsjournal.de/mehr.php?Nummer=90386

How to create this link from an Access form, so when we click on it, a browser window opens and goes to this link?

Any clue will help. Thanks!

Andre

Have a look at the FollowHyperlink method.

Hmm...
I don't really understand what you mean. I've looked up at Help, but there is no such thing, or helpful information about it.

Could you be more specific?

In an appropriate event procedure (eg DblClick of the control):
Application.FollowHyperlink "

I've found another way, in the mean time. But I'll take a look at your code.

Thanks anyway!
