Hyperlink truncating in Access 2016 (1 Viewer)

Cedarguy · Aug 17, 2017

Hello,

I've built a CRM using Access 2010

I store a hyperlink (from gmail) to retain the email exchanges with clients

Now I have Access 2016 on a new machine

I can still get to an email via the hyperlink using Access 2010 but Access 2016 truncates the hyperlink (the lowest level) thereby getting me to the gmail inbox instead of the specific email

I'm hoping there's a parameter that controls the hyperlink treatment in Access 2016

Would appreciate an insights.

Thanks

You could store the field as text instead of hyperlink, and then convert it if/when/how you need it.

I don't use the "hyperlink" data type any more, for a number of reasons that this guy explains well.

It has lots of excellent info.

The original version is in German but those unable to speak that, the translated version's web address is http://www.codekabinett.com/index.php?Lang=2

I have spent many of hours on his page, he is a wealth of knowledge on VBA and Class Modules. I hope to meet him in Austria next year at Dev Con.

Thank you all; I take it that the ability to use the entire hyperlink (as in 2010) has been reduced in 2016; I was using the hyperlink field thinking that would be the proper way to deal with it.. Anyhow, I'll study the link you shared and try to understand the problem better; thanks again
