    To do it in a query, you would need to set the data type in the underlying
    table to a hyperlink. Doing that kills your ability to index and sort, so it
    would be better to use a form to display the data. Then you can use the
    hyperlink property of a textbox.

    You cannot. A query uses the data from tables. There are some functions to
    change datatypes, but not for OLE fields. Hyperlinks are OLE fields.
