Creating a Hyperlink Field

The Hyperlink data type allows you to create a Hyperlink field, a field that can store hyperlinks . The hyperlink can be a path to a file on your hard disk drive or network, or it can be a link to a page on the Web. When you click a Hyperlink field, Access jumps to the target specified by the link. For example, if you have a Clients table, and most of your clients have their own Web pages, you might want to create a Hyperlink field that contains links to each client Web page.
