I have a form that lists all companies, addresses and website URLs. I am
trying to make the URL textbox for each record displayed be a live URL which
when selected will open the brower to the appropriate URL. I set the
properties for the textbox to Hyperlink=Yes but when I click on any of them
it does nothing?!?

Any ideas on how I do this?

Thanks

I am unable to make it work in a text box either but I can make it work in a
Label.

Type the name of teh companie into the label then in the properties under
Hyperlink Address type your URL.
 
OK I can now open a web page via the browser. I added the line

Application.FollowHyperlink "http://" & Me.CompanyWeb, , True

But now the web browser opens behind my form (which is not very helpful).
Any ideas on how to make the broswer launch on top of my form (which is
already forced to be on top of my switchboard)???
