Author How to handle hyperlink data
Tim

I am using an Access front-end, and storing data on a MIcrosoft SQL back end.
How can I handle hyperlinks on the back end? I presently identify the data
as varchar in SQL, and as a "hyperlink' in the Access front-end forms, but
want to export the data from the backend, as a hyperlink rather than a
varchar format.

Ideas?

If you can define "hyperlink format", someone might be able to help.
Perhaps you are confused by your own terminology. A "hyperlink" is
primarily a display and usage issue - not a data issue. Data is data. How
you choose to represent it or use it within a client application is a
completely separate issue.
