Private Sub GoogleMapsLink_Click()

Dim strLinkUrl As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strAddr() As String

strPath = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q="

strLinkUrl = RTrim(streetnumber.Value) & "+" & RTrim(city.Value) & "+"
& RTrim(state.Value)
strAddr = Split(strLinkUrl, " ", , vbTextCompare)
strLinkUrl = ""
For i = LBound(strAddr()) To UBound(strAddr())
strLinkUrl = strLinkUrl & strAddr(i) & "+"
Next i
strLinkUrl = strPath & Left(strLinkUrl, Len(strLinkUrl) - 1)
Debug.Print strLinkUrl
Me.GoogleMapsLink.HyperlinkAddress = strLinkUrl

End Sub
 
You have to add a command to actually follow the hyperlink:
Me.GoogleMapsLink.Hyperlink.Follow

Hello Peter:
Thank you very much for replying. I am not a programmer by trade. I
have tried both Me.GoogleMapsLink.Hyperlink.Follow = strLinkUrl and
Me.GoogleMapsLink.HyperlinkAddress.Follow = strLinkUrl. I get no
result. Under the Debug I Tried to compile and get the following
Compile Error.
----
Me.GoogleMapsLink.Hyperlink.Follow = strLinkUrl => >Follow gets
Highlighted and I get Compile Error Dialog box "Expected Function or
Variable"

Me.GoogleMapsLink.HyperlinkAddress.Follow = strLinkUrl =>
HyperlinkAddress gets Highlighted and I get Compile Error Dialog box
"Expected Function or Variable"
 
I haven't tried it, but I think adding the line of code to your code will do.

So:
..
..
Me.GoogleMapsLink.HyperlinkAddress = strLinkUrl
Me.GoogleMapsLink.Hyperlink.Follow

OK This Worked
Me.GoogleMapsLink.HyperlinkAddress = strLinkUrl

it seems that we don't need the .Follow

Thanks for all your help
