Hi, in Firefox one can go to tools and enter on page info. If you tab along, it will tell you the current address. Guess it tells you in the location bar as well, but don't use it so can't say for definite. Hope that helps.

Hi Terry.
Once you're on the page of the address you want to copy and paste press ALT 
+ D...this should get you to the browser's address bar displaying the
address, which should be highlighted. Copy it to the clipboard with CTRL+C.
Next, navigate to where you'd like the address to appear such as an email
message, Word document etc, and then paste with CTRL+V.
Note you can also get to the address bar with F4...its just a matter of 
preference which keystroke you use. Also perhaps I'd better add the above
works fine with IE, but unfortunately due to lack of experience with other
browsers at this moment in time, I can't guarantee how valid this would be
if you're using anything else such as Mizilla Firefox. HTH.

Cheers,

Mark

Subject: [access-uk] selecting and copying a web address


HI all
Okay, I know this is simple, but its not when you don't know how. I know the key stroke insert and letter A pressed twice will allow me to 
read the current url, but I don't seem to be able to select and copy to the
clipboard.  I tried pressing the shift key with the end key, pressing shift
control and right arrow, then control and C, but its not happening for me.
What is the correct method for doing what I want to do. Just to be clear, I want to be able to highlight, select, copy and paist the 
web address of a page that I'm currently on.
Thanks for any help. Terry
