ACC2000: Static Hyperlink on Disabled Subform Appears Enabled
This article was previously published under Q197384
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
When you open a main form that has a subform, and the subform contains a
hyperlink, the hyperlink appears to be active. However, if you click the
hyperlink to follow it, nothing happens.
The
Enabled property of the subform is set to
No, and the controls on the form only appear to be active.
Set the
Enabled property of the subform to
Yes. This will enable you to follow the hyperlink when you click it.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- In the sample database Northwind.mdb, create a new form in Design view.
- On the Insert menu, click Hyperlink and type http://www.microsoft.com for the file or Web page name. Click OK.
- Save the form as Form1, and then close the form.
- Create another new form in Design view. Save the form as Form2.
- Position Form2 on your screen so that you can see the Database
window. Click Forms under Objects, and then drag Form1 to the detail section of Form2.
- Set the Enabled property of the subform to No.
- Switch the form to Form view. Note that the hyperlink on the subform
appears to be active, and if you move the mouse pointer over it, the
mouse pointer turns into a hand. However, you are not able to follow
the hyperlink.
For more information about following hyperlinks, click
Microsoft Access Help on the
Help menu, type
follow a hyperlink in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click
Search to view the topic.
