How do I create a hyperlink in Project 2003 Web Access?

[BudOlly]

I can add a hyperlink to a project I am working on, and I can publish the
project to the server with no problems. When I view the project with Project
Web Access, the hyperlink is nowhere to be found. What gives?

Please specify if this is 2003 or 2007.

Where are you storing the hyperlink? Is it being strored in a local or
enterprise task custom field or in the Hyperlink Address & Hyperlink task
fields?

Did you include the field in the Project Details view and it is showing up
blank?

First off, thank you for your reply. I am using Project 2003, and am quite
new to it. I created the hyperlink in the "Indicators field" next to a task,
just as a test. When I view the project in "Web Access" using the "Tasks
Summary" view, the Indicators field shows up, but does not have the hyperlink
next to the task for which it was created. This is an enterprise project
using enterprise resources that are taken from our Active Directory.

1) In the project plan on the Gantt view, include the column "Hyperlink
Address"
2) Make sure there is a valid URL there for your task in question
3) This will create a hyperlink Icon in the indicator field
4) Make sure to re-publish the project plan including the task in question
5) See if you can add the "Hyperlink Address" field to the Summary view in
the Tasks Summary view which is a Project Details type view.
6) See if the hyperlink shows up now in the indicator field or at the very
least in the "Hyperlink Address" field.

I added the "Hyperlink Address" field to that view and now the hyperlinks are
at least showing up, but not in the indicator field...oh well, not a huge
deal. I was unable to find ANYTHING about this prior to creating this
thread; thanks alot for your help!
