I'm having a problem with a text box in a form whose Control Source is a
table field that has a Hyperlink data type.  The Hyperlink addresses are
paths to folders on our network drive.  When you click on one of the
hyperlink records directly in a table or query, they work as intended - that
is, Wondows Explorer opens to the network folder designated as the Address
value of the hyperlink.

However, when I try to use the same Hyperlink field as the Control Source
for a text box in a form, the hyperlink doesn't open Windows Explorer.  The
only thing that happens is that the display in the text box changes from the
hyperlink label to the full hyperlink address.

Can anyone tell me why this text box in the form is preventing the hyperlink
field value from operating as it does in the table?  (I do have the "Is
Hyperlink" property of the form control set to "Yes").

Thanks in advance,

Paul
