### Hyperlink tab (Format Editor)

Use this tab to create a hyperlink to a web site, a field value, an e-mail address, a file, or another Seagate Crystal Report file. The hyperlink is saved with your report and is available to other users as a way of viewing additional information.

Note: If you create a hyperlink to another Seagate Crystal Report file, you are creating an on-demand subreport. Just as one subreport cannot contain another subreport, you cannot create a hyperlink between two subreports.

##### Hyperlink type (Hyperlink tab/Format Editor)

Click the type of hyperlink you want to create. The available types are:

- No hyperlink
- A website on the Internet
- Current field value
- An e-mail address
- A file
- Another Crystal report file.

Hints about how to use each of these options are provided on the bottom of the tab in the Helpful Hints section.

Note: Not all hyperlink types are available at all times. The object you select and its location on the report determine which types are available.

##### Hyperlink Information

Use this section of the tab to enter the appropriate hyperlink information (the URL of a web site, for example). Hyperlink information is available for all Hyperlink types except No hyperlink and Current field value.

##### Browse

Use Browse to search for files using the Open dialog box. Browse is available only for A file and Another Crystal report file.

##### Helpful Hint

Use these hints to learn how each Hyperlink type works and what it will add to your report.
