Hi,

I have 2 text boxes and a combo boxe that are used to create a hyperlink to various files on a server. All the file names are ina similar format DDMMYY_XXX_X, Each combo box deals with a section ie. textbox 1 deals with the date, text box 2 the initials and the combo box deals with the alpha identifer (A-Z). I use VB code to bring all this information together along with the other static parts of the address (the whole lot is called customhyperlink).

I have a simple line that says txtlink(which is bound to the link field in my table, which is set as a hyperlink) = customhyperlink, this works fine when creating a new record but fails when updating a record. The text of the hyperlink changes but not the location it points to, any ideas how to get around this?
 
Further to my comments above, I currently use a macro to open the edit/add hyperlink wizard. When I try to create a link the wizard is incredibly slow (network connection and amount of data in folder), the above method was to speed up this process, any other tips if the above cannot be done.

I'm really stuck with this one!!!
