you'd need to display the link (say: www.yahoo.com is stored in rs("linkField" this way:

<b>&lt; a href="&lt; %rs("linkField"% &gt;"&gt;&lt; %rs("linkField"% &gt;&lt; / a&gt;</b>

Then you get: www.yahoo.com
where the link is the text and the actual hyperlink.

Take out the extra spaces I entered...in the anchor and the Vb code blocks.

Hope this helps and was what you where looking for,
Stuart
