Question

I’m creating a website that interfaces with a .mdb database. I have a field that is using the data type “hyperlink” and pointing to a relative link for an image I want displayed. For some reason the link is appearing and not the image and there is a # that is being prepended and appended on each URL. I thought maybe the path was wrong but even if I change it I don’t get the image. The mdb file also wants to add http:// to every link.

Answer 1

Hyperlink fields (columns) in Access store the data in the format:

Name of hyperlink#http://example.com#

I generally prefer to use textfields, because it is easy enough to follow a hyperlink on a form, if required, and the field (column) is a lot easier to edit and maintain.
