Just a simple question.
How can you make a hyperlink in Visual Basic?

You have to program that yourself, or search the code library for the hyperlink control.

Have a look at the ShellExecute. Something like this will do the trick:
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 2

Private Sub lblHyperlink_Click()
'Launch the default web browser and navigate to the site
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "http://www.visualbasicforum.com", ByVal 0&, _
"", SW_SHOWNORMAL
End Sub

A simple search of the forum pulls up a few examples as well.
