#### Hyperlink fields

You can select an object on the Design or Preview tab and create a hyperlink to a web site, a local HTML file, a field value, an e-mail address, 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.

###### To create a hyperlink field

1. Select a report object on the `Design` or `Preview` tab.

   Note: If you want to create a hyperlink to another Seagate Crystal Report file, do not select a report object.

2. On the `Insert` menu, click `Hyperlink`.

   The Hyperlink tab of the Format Editor dialog box appears.

3. Click the type of hyperlink you want to create. The available types are:
   - A website on the Internet
   - A file
   - Current field value
   - An e-mail address
   - Another Crystal Report file
   - No hyperlink.

     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.

4. After you have chosen a hyperlink type, enter the appropriate hyperlink information (the URL of a web site, for example).
5. Click `OK` when you are finished.

The hyperlink is inserted as appropriate. Click it on the report to go to the appropriate site, e-mail address or other report.

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