When you populate a hyperlink field in a table, you probably cut and paste the URL from your browser into the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.

There's an even easier way to do this using Internet Explorer.

1. First, open the Access table you're updating and Internet Explorer.
   
   
2. Select the hyperlink field you want to create the link in and choose Insert >Hyperlink from the menu bar.
   
   
3. Press Alt+Tab or use your mouse to select the browser window.
   
   
4. Browse to the page you want to link to and then switch back to Access.
