I have an ASP query which calls up fields from an Access database. One of the fields contains the website address associated with the record, all beginning with www. This comes up fine on an ASP page, complete with hyperlink, but the address links to a location on the server, rather than out into the web. Is there something wrong with the bit of code below? Can I force it to ignore the full server file name?

many thanks
Maggie

 For each fldF in objrs.Fields
   If len(fldF.value) > 0 then
If inStr(fldF.Value, "www.") > 0 then
       response.write "<td><a href=" & fldF.value & ">" & fldF.value & "</a></td>"
     Else
     response.write "<td>" & fldF.value & "</td>"
     End if

    Else
    response.write "<td>&nbsp;</td>"
   End if
  next

I'm not clear as to the problem, what HTML is produced at the moment and what do you want to be produced?

Try prefixing your link with 'http://' and see how that works.

response.write "<td><a href='http://" & fldF.value & "'>" & fldF.value & "</a></td>"

Dave you're a genius, thank you! That works perfectly.
