When importing data from an Excel sheet into an Access database, will it be possible to import hyperlinks that are already in the excel spreadsheet?

Hi Adrienne

I would think it is unlikely to import the hyperlinks, as it is usually bringing in just the DATA. Having said that, I would suggest testing it to see if your particular version as the ability to do what you want to.

The process is pretty simple.
Click FILE > GET EXTERNAL DATA> IMPORT OR LINK

Test both IMPORT and LINK.

Let me know how you do.

Access tip:

Open A Combo Box Automatically

This is helpful if users need to enter large amounts of data. There are two ways to open ComboBoxes when they get the focus by using the tab keys.

When the ComboBox gets focus:

Press Alt + Down Arrow on the keyboard

For it to happen automatically, needs a bit of coding:

1. Add a combo box and a text box control to the form
2. Set the combo box's On Got Focus property to the following event procedure:

Private Sub ComboBoxName _GotFocus()

Me!ComboBoxName.Dropdown

End Sub

3. Open your form in Form View and use the TAB key to make sure it works.
