How to display and edit hyperlinks in DBGrid in Delphi 7?

Question

I use DBGrid to display Hyperlink type field from Microsoft Access database (MDB). Normally dbgrid displays hyperlink values like "(MEMO)", without editing capablity. Is there a way to solve this?

Answer 1

DBGrid displays values based on field type. If it shows (MEMO) then you probably declared your field in your database as TEXT or something equivalent. Can't remember Access, but in MS-SQL Server you can change field type to varchar and DBGrid will display values as editable text.
