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 subform's Enabled property has been 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.
1. In the sample database Northwind.mdb, create a new form in Design view.
2. On the Insert menu, click Hyperlink and type "http://www.microsoft.com"
(without the quotations marks) for the URL. Click OK.
4. Create another new form in Design view. Save the form as Form2.
5. Position Form2 on your screen so that you can see the Database
window. Click the Forms tab and drag Form1 to the detail section
of Form2.
7. 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, and the target address is shown in the
Status bar. However, you are not able to follow the hyperlink.
