I have a form I have written using aFrontpage wizard - it draws back data
from a SQL db and I want to allow people to edit (which works) one of the
field of data. The problem is that they will be putting in a URL and the
results don't seem to recognise it as a hyperlink. Do I have to place an
anchor <a href> into the pages code?
 
Yes, on your page you have to make it a true hyperlink:

<a href="<%=recordset("fieldname")%>">link name</a>
