Thank you for your comments, Andrew. My needs are: To create a field in a database which will store the URL of a file on my hard drive. In Access this would be a hyperlink field. One could click on the URL in any view (table, form, etc.) and the file (or web address, etc.) would open. It seems that Base doesn't have this functionality. Of course the best solution is to be able to define a hyperlink at the table level, but, failing that, it would help to be able to create a control on a form that would open the file reference by a URL stored in a text field (each record must be able to store a different URL). Can one do this easily using a macro? A related query: the (very useful)"File Selection" control would be much more useful if it could be linked to a field in a table, just as the "Text Box" and other fields can. Is there an easy solution to this?
