Hi,
I need to add a Hyperlink on a Textbox on a Word report.
The way we did it on the RDLC report is by going to the Textbox Properties and adding an expression to the Action.

How can I replicate the same process to add a Hyperlink to a Cell in a Table on a word report?

Thanks

Hyperlinks on Word Reports

Microsoft came back with additional information.

The Documentation in : Setting up Hyperlinks in Word Report Layouts left out a bit of advice.
You will have two new columns (Take Note on the Spelling after the underscore):
Document_Url & Document_UrlText. (Note: You can make the Document_UrlText any field/variable)

When adding Document_Url to the report you need to:

1. Add Field

2. Click on the same field again and "Map to Content Control"

The Missing Step
3. If the URL does not work add a space before and after the Document_Url content control.

When there is no hyperlink URL, the Text will display blank. (Unfortunately the RDLC has the upperhand, when there is no URL the report stills shows text.)

As far as I know, it can be added, but it cannot point to a variable (the value of report)

Hopefully other experts can give you better advice.
