>In VS6 is there a way to display a hyperlink inside an Edit Box. For example if I have a memo field with its contents being displayed with an Edit Box and I want a hyperlink to be active within the content. Is there a way to do this. Or, is this something available in VFP 7?

Another way to have active hyperlink in editbox is to use the seltext property to detect if a valid url was selected and launch the browser on rightclick. The link was not underline but, at least, can be activated.

Its not really what you want, but...
