    Posted: 22 February 2005 at 9:09am

In an access db, i have created a table that contains a field which is a hyperlink type. The hyperlink points to a web address.

when I run my asp code, the hyperlink doesn't work. I displayed the contents of the hyperlink variable with...
 
response.write var_URL
 
and the results are
 
#http://www.somewhere.com/#
 
And where are those #'s coming from? I'm not sure, but they are messing me up.
 
What are they, and what are they for? anyone know?

I've never used a hyperlink type before.  Why dont you store it as text and do:

<a href="<%=var_URL%>"><%=var_URL%></a>

Yes I had thought of putting the hyperlink in just as text, but then i would loose the access to where the hyperlink actually goes from microsoft access, which is something I want to keep.

<a href="<%=Replace(var_URL,"#","")%>"><%=Replace(var_URL,"#","")%></a>
