hyperlink, the hyperlink appears to be active. However, if you click the
hyperlink to follow it, nothing happens.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- In the sample database Northwind.mdb, create a new form in Design view.
- On the Insert menu, click Hyperlink and type http://www.microsoft.com for the URL. Click OK.
- Save the form as Form1, and then close the form.
- Create another new form in Design view. Save the form as Form2.
- Position Form2 on your screen so that you can see the Database
window. Click the Forms tab and drag Form1 to the detail section
of Form2.
- Set the Enabled property of the subform to No.
- Switch the form to Form view. Note that the hyperlink on the subform
appears to be active, and if you move the mouse pointer over it, the
mouse pointer turns into a hand, and the target address is shown in the
Status bar. However, you are not able to follow the hyperlink.
