Specifying Internet Uniform Resource Locators
Internet Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) consist of an abbreviation for a protocol that defines the type of object (usually a document) and the location (address) of the desired object on the Internet or an intranet. In most cases, the protocol and the address are separated by two virgules (forward slashes) and a colon, as in http://www.microsoft.com or ftp://ftp.microsoft.com. Access 97 hyperlinks support the http (Hypertext Transport Protocol) and ftp URL prefixes with IE 3.0 and other Web browsers. Access 97's Hyperlink fields recognize the URL prefixes listed in Table 16.1. You need the appropriate software installed and registered on your PC to use prefixes other than http and ftp.
