I'm using Perl DBI to create a table in an MS Access database. No problem with that. However, I can't figure out how to create a field in that table whose data type is "Hyperlink". In the course of investigating the problem, I manually created a table in which one of the fields was set to the Hyperlink data type, then used DBI type_info() to see what data type DBI interpreted that field as having. It came back showing the field to be a LONGCHAR field. So, going back to my problem, I assume that in creating a new MS Access table, if I want to create a field whose data type is Hyperlink, I must actually create a LONGCHAR field, then set some additional field attribute/property (dbHyperlink?) so that the contents of the field are treated as a Hyperlink. But how? Might this involve using some other module--a Win32 or some OLE module?
