Just an update, the base is not the issue,
the issue is that when you format to hyperlink in the table it inserts http:// an this be changed to blank?

wrote in message ups.com... Just an update, the base is not the issue, the issue is that when you format to hyperlink in the table it inserts http:// an this be changed to blank? What is AIM? That acronym could refer to any number of things; I'd guess it is AOL Instant Messaging, but it would be nice if you'd make it clear. If you don't communicate via http://, what route do you use? If you have client software installed on your machine, perhaps you need the Shell function, rather than a hyperlink. Larry Linson Microsoft Access MVP

did you try setting the field type in your table as text (not
hyperlink) and then setting the format of the field on your form as a hyperlink?

AIM does mean AOL instant messenger:
the HTML code to do the function i want is aim:goim?screenname=XXXXXXXXXXX This is the code you can code in the HTML of a webpage so i thought that it needed to be a hyperlink. I know that it works as a hyperlink without the http:// so a hyperlink could work if the default for hyperlink did not include the http:// Larry Linson wrote: wrote in message ups.com...
