how do I create macro to run office clipboard in access 2003

[Keith Bennett]

dont appear to havethe record macro facility

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

Macros in Access are completely different than Macros in other Office
products. The other products actually use VBA for what they call Macros,
whereas Macros are a different way of specifying commands in Access.

As well, there is no record capability in Access.

Dear Keith:

The process that you are describing involves a great deal more an just
clicking a link. If you don't know how to program in VBA, this task will
present a problem for you.

If you can give me some detail has to how you are clicking on a link
that is related to the email, then this would make it a lot easier to
write the code that you need in order to be able to do this?

Keith,

In the design view of your Access table, set the Data Type of the field
to Hyperlink.

Another approach is to use a SendObject action in your macro, which you
would then assign to run on the Click event of the control in question,
and reference the control in the To argument of the SendObject action.

Please post back with more details and examples if you need more
explicit help with this.
