retrieving hyperlinks from access database

Hi,
im retrieving info from access database on to ASPs. In my database i have
url links to the company websites. but the format is coming up like this
www.someone.com#http://www.someone.com# I set the column type to hyperlink in
the design of the table and simply type in www.someone.com in the respective
field
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Yep. Build your link in the HTML on the page, e.g.,

<a href="<% your text link field %>">

Try changing the column type to text. Always works for me.

Yep that's OK
Set your access field to txt and in DW set the field on your page to
link. Don't forget to change into data scources. Then choose the right
recordset and field.
