Microsoft Access - Hyperlink Error

I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016. Recently from my Form in Access - my Hyperlinks stopped working - and I get the error "The site reports that the request is not valid." on every one of them. These links have worked for years - without issue - prior. I have changed nothing!!! One day they worked, the next day they didn't. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, it happens sometimes. Good luck with your project.

Thanks for the support - didn't think that it might be a site issue - but it appears that is the case.

Ah, if all the links are to the same website, then it's possible the website made some changes on their side or having some issues. Good luck!

Just read a blog on the site that I am linked to - seems the issue is impacting more than just me:

Other people having similar problems - that just started in the past few weeks - so I'm now thinking it's a site issue or something - not my settings, or anything that might have changed on my side.

Okay, so if clicking on a hyperlink field used to work and suddenly it doesn't, we can suspect something has changed in the computer configuration. Just to isolate the data, can you run your db on a different machine to verify that the hyperlink field still works? If it does, then we can say there is something wrong with your machine. If so, you could try repairing your Office, for starters.

The field is set up as a Hyperlink - and always has been. Thanks

Okay, in that case, we'll need to know how you're using the links in Access. Are you using a Hyperlink field or a Test field?

Yes - just links to websites. If I copy the link from my database - and paste it into a browser - they work fine.

Hi. Are they links to a website or something else?
