Microsoft Access - Hyperlink Error

Question

I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016. Recently from my Form in Access - my Hyperlinks stopped working - and I get the error "The site reports that the request is not valid." on every one of them. These links have worked for years - without issue - prior. I have changed nothing!!! One day they worked, the next day they didn't. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Hi. Are they links to a website or something else?

Answer 2

Yes - just links to websites. If I copy the link from my database - and paste it into a browser - they work fine.

Answer 3

Okay, in that case, we'll need to know how you're using the links in Access. Are you using a Hyperlink field or a Test field?

Answer 4

The field is set up as a Hyperlink - and always has been. Thanks

Answer 5

Okay, so if clicking on a hyperlink field used to work and suddenly it doesn't, we can suspect something has changed in the computer configuration. Just to isolate the data, can you run your db on a different machine to verify that the hyperlink field still works? If it does, then we can say there is something wrong with your machine. If so, you could try repairing your Office, for starters.
