Hello,
I'd like to include a url for folks to refer to for more
information. So this would be the same url repeated for
each record. How would this be done?

Thanks in advance,
Ellen

Ellen, if the URL repeats for each record...then you
probably don't want to store it for each record.

One easy way to do this would be to add a "For More Info"
button on a form that shows all the records in your table.
Set the HyperlinkAddress property of the button to
whichever URL you want to go to. Then when the user clicks
the button, they will go to that web page. Doesn't matter
which record in the table they are currently on.

Two advantages of this approach: 1) it follows relational
database design principles (not repeating information),
and if you ever need to change the URL then you only have
to change it in one place, not for every record.

HTH,
 
Thanks so much!
