Sending hyperlink Access 2000

[richard walton]

I have a series of reports that are created by Access
2000. I send a table of hyperlinks to the reports to users
via Outlook.

With 97, I was able to send emails to my users that
included hyperlinks to a series of reports located on a
LAN. Just save the new report date to the LAN, update the
hyperlink to that date, and send with an Access macro.

After conversion to Access 2000, Outlook seems to want
to send an icon instead of the raw hyperlink from the
table. When the user opens the icon, the link appears to
click.

Is there a way to get rid of this extra step that Access
97 did not have? The Access 2000 send object macros show
that it is sending HTML, as it should be, but when you run
it, and the e-mail window comes up, it shows as a text
file.

I guess I must be the only person doing this? Oh well.

You may have better luck asking in an Outlook newsgroup. I just copy and
paste hyperlinks and never see the problem you are having.

Thing is, my Outlook was not the one upgraded. Access
was. And, the 97 copy of the database still shows the
links in e-mail. But, since 97 is going away here, can not
still use it.
More searhing between Access 97 settings and Access 2000,
has pointed me to an option that was in Access 97, and
seems to be missing from 2000. Access 97 had a tab in
Options, titled something like, HTML/Hyperlinks. In that,
you could specify whether you wanted to display hyperlinks
in Email. Access 2000, does not have that tab.
And, I would copy and paste, but I have a table of
hyperlinks that has 15 or twenty depending on which
database I am in. My report distribution is such that no
one gets all of them. I have that selection as to who gets
what, done by queries. Yes, I guess I could still open
the queries, and copy , paste, but as many different
reports to many different distributions that I do, I just
hate to take a step back to doing something manually that
used to be automatic. Especially since 2000 should be
able to do the things 97 did. . . Shouldn't it?

my mistake. It is true Access 97 has this HTML/Hyperlink
tab under Options, and 2000 does not- but it does not do
what I had assumed it does.
