Populate a field through hyperlink

[JHDavis]

How can I pass a value to a textbox in a data entry only ADP form using the hyperlink?

I'm looking for something like what you'd use on a standard HTML form:

http://www.sample.com/form.htm?myfield=abc123

Is this possible?

Thanks

Is this a test question? Ok, the source of the standard HTML form string will probably expect a standard HTML compliant target to handle the standard HTML form string (why else would it be an HTML standard form string).

In which case such server (HTML 2.0 compliant) would prohibit interacting directly with the Access form BUT, through the wonders of various available script languages; access to the databases' that the form might use as a data source IS possable.

The rest is just a matter of adding the necessary plumbing.

So, yes it is posable, but the route is cluttered with programming tasks.

No, not a test. It was a late night, and I didn't think it through.

After I posted this question, I realized that I should just be using ASP to populate the data.

Thanks
