    You want it, but you know you can't have it, but you want to know how to get it anyway? Strange question. If you want a hyperlink then make it a hyperlink if you can. If you can't then, well, you can't.

      Try to use a temporary table with a field as you need (hyperlink).
      Fill this table with hyperlinks from the original table then use this table as record source for your form.

      I know: This approach involve a lot of knowledge in Access and in VBA.
