Steele" <NOSPAM_djsteele[ at ]NOSPAM_canada.com> 16.07.2006 13:51:03 Macros in Access are completely different than Macros in other Office products. The other products actually use VBA for what they call Macros, whereas Macros are a different way of specifying commands in Access. As well, there is no record capability in Access. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Keith Bennett" <Keith Bennett[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1471DA8F-423D-4BF6-AB54-CB6BEA3FA82C[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: how do I create macro to run office clipboard in access 2003 Steve Schapel <schapel[ at ]mvps.org.ns> 16.07.2006 20:08:33 Keith, In the design view of your Access table, set the Data Type of the field to Hyperlink. Another approach is to use a SendObject action in your macro, which you would then assign to run on the Click event of the control in question, and reference the control in the To argument of the SendObject action. Please post back with more details and examples if you need more explicit help with this. -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP Keith Bennett wrote: [Quoted Text] > Not alot of help I need to click on an email address in a field and open an > email in outlook or similar >
