Hi,
 
I am using Crystal Reports 2008. I am wondering if it's possible to create a Hyperlink within a Text Box of my Crystal Report? The website is not included in the datasource, so instead we created a text box that includes information such as phone numbers, email, and websites.
 
I've Googled around and haven't found an answer to this question. If you have any tips that would be great. Thanks!

Yes in 2011, not so sure about 2008.  Right click on the text box, choose Format Text.  Click on the Hyperlink tab.  There is the formula box available for most of the Hyperlink types.  You can put your formula in there or reference another formula.  I am using the A File option and creating a hyperlink to a file within the formula.

Thank you. It looks like there is not a hyperlink option to click on once in Format Text. We will be getting 2011 version soon, so I will expore that once we upgrade. Thank you!
