Question : Follow hyperlink command and unformatted .xml

In our database, we can store links to different files on our servers.  On a form, all of the links pertaining to a specific project display.  We then use something similar to the very simple 'FollowHyperlink.mytextbox1' to open the link in it's native program.  Typically it is either excel or adobe reader....

The link is stored in the database with it's full path, etc...

Recently we started tring to do this with some web orders that are in .xml format.  They open in the browser but only as unformatted xml (see below).   Is there anything I can do on the access side to make these open formatted?  as in the other picture?

Thanks

Answer : Follow hyperlink command and unformatted .xml

I expect the first example is just the web browser's rendering of the raw XML.  Unless you're going to pump the XML through something that prettyfies it, I expect that's all you're going to get.  Essentially, you'd need to associate XML files with some other application in order for that application to own them when you launch the link.
