title: Hyperlinks from Access application are not properly authenticating/redirecting
body: <p>Our company has a web-based employee directory which I'm trying to link to from an Access 2013 Desktop Database application. The links to users' profiles look something like this: <code>https://mysite.example.com?Person.aspx?guid=9eda6bb0-6b6b-492e-adbb-3c39e8a7fcd0</code></p>
  
  <p>When I visit that URL directly in my browser (IE9), I am automatically authenticated and redirected to that user's profile. When I create a URL hyperlink on my desktop and launch it, IE9 is launched and I am redirected to that user's profile. When I set an Excel cell's value to that URL and click on the resulting hyperlink, same behaviour. When I click on that hyperlink in Word, again, same behaviour.</p>
  
  <p>The link even works if you embed a Web Browser control in the access form and set its URI to the desired location, even if the link is subsequently opened in the user's external browser. I happened to discover this quirk by chance.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is when I create a hyperlink to that URL from my Access application and click on it, IE9 launches and visits that URL, but I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <p><code>There was a problem accessing the site. Try to browse to the site again.
  If the problem persists, contact the administrator of this site and provide the reference number to identify the problem.
  Reference number: dc40e099-a58d-472d-b187-ac162d399e28</code></p>
  
  <p>which seems to be a standard authentication error from IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Services framework).</p>
  
  <p>I experience the same problem when using the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff822080.aspx" rel="nofollow">FollowHyperlink</a> function from Access VBA.</p>
  
  <p>The only way I have been able to workaround this is to use the VBA command: <code>Shell "explorer " &amp; Chr(34) &amp; "https://mysite.example.com/Person.aspx?guid=9eda6bb0-6b6b-492e-adbb-3c39e8a7fcd0" &amp; Chr(34)</code> on my element's <code>Click</code> method, but the element doesn't behave like a native hyperlink should (no automatic hyperlink styling, no "hand" cursor, etc.), and I'm also incredibly curious why Access' hyperlinks behave so differently from other Windows/Office hyperlinks.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
