I have a form for users who get to enter their favorite links, the links are then stored in an access database. Now what I want to do is turn these links into hyperlinks. The same goes with the email, when a user enters an email address in a form, when viewing the email I want someone to be able to click the email and their outlook pops up.

Am I making any sense?


Just one other thing... how do I do the password.. confirm password thing?

Anyway Thanks and I'll check back later.

when they enter their URL's into your form, make sure they don't include the "" bit. (add a little note in textbox etc..)
So a link of clik.to/somewhere...

would be entered as [clik.to/somewhere...]

then in ultradev, write the text for your link etc.. and when you go to add the hyperlink, select "from data sources", choose your URL entry field, and add "" before the code ultradev gives u.

same for email address, only they enter their full address (leaving nothing out), and then you add "mailto:" before the code ultradev gives you when u select the email db field.

Sorry I still don't understand... where is the "from data sources"? is there a tutorial anywhere?

I bet it's really simple but I don't get it...

In the box that pops up when you click on the little folder icon to link a new page, look to the top and there is 2 radio buttons, one of them is "Data Sources".

And if you have created a recordset, then the fields will show up.

Other than that follow the tutorials that come with Ultradev and they will show you how to do it.
