Why do my hyperlinks on Access forms not work?

[Joe Sullivan]

I have a hyperlink to an asp page that takes a
parameter. I build the asp address depending on the
record selected. I can see that the link is correct when
the record is selected, however I get a default.asp?
error=3001 and a "page cannot be displayed." When I
manually type in the same address in my browser, the link
works correctly.

Interestingly enough, this was working before on my
computer, but not on others who had the same access db.
I am wondering if changeing my MDAC version is what broke
it, or if it is a security issue. It is the only thing I
can think of that has changed (I am currently using MDAC
v.2.8)

If anyone has a clue what is happening here, and/or has
ideas on how I might fix it, I would be very much
appreciative.

Thanks,
Joe Sullivan

Make sure that you use the correct Hyperlink syntax as it
seems as if it's currently trying to hyperlink to a file
on your harddrive which is why others would not be able to
access. Remember the browsers can cache webpages on your
hard drive which is tantamount to operating offline.
