How can a hyperlink be useful? Here are some suggestions:
1. Keep a set of directions to a Kingdom Hall:
2. Keep the Coordinator or Speakers email address:
3. You might have a file on your computer with directions and details:
file://path_to_file.doc
| The only thing to remember is that the hyperlink is limited to 255 characters. This is a limitation of Microsoft Access. If you find this to be a problem then you might like to consider using https://tinyurl.com/. This is a handy way of making a very long hyperlink into a very short hyperlink! Then you could keep the shorter hyperlink within the database. Let me know if you need any other URL type added into the drop-down list. |
