I liked the ActivateURL (certainly saves some work) so I guess I will
display the text in an iframe or div.  Thanks for all your help.

Ooops....my bad....yes that UDF is only intended for outside of form tags.

Now that said it seems a bit odd to be displaying a record in a form??  If
it's in a form then it's meant to be edited not "used" (i.e. user following
links etc.)....but then again...what do I know about your application ;-)

I'm not 100% sure....but about 99.9% sure that you can't do what you're
after (and obviously I think you shouldn't do it anyway...hehe).

Cheers

  At first glance, it looks like it puts an <a href... around the link.
  But if this is displayed in a textarea, it would just display the text
with
  a <a href... around the link , but it still would not function as a hyper
  link.  Or am I wrong here.

    Is there a way that a user can enter a URL in a textarea and have the
link
  actually display and work as a hyperlink?  For example:

    <textarea name="Miscell" cols="110" rows="5" wrap="Virtual"
  class="noborder"> blah blah blah http://www.houseoffusion.com/ blah blah
  blah</textarea>
