Goldmine Web Link Querystring values

I have a Website link in the GM toolbar that is supposed to pass the GM account number to my Web page. Unfortunately, GM uses HTML reserved characters (ampersands,forward slashes, question marks, etc.) in its account number construction. So, for example, if the account number contains an ampersand, the browser interprets it as the delimiter for a new querystring variable, and truncates the account number.

Is there any way to use a replacement function in the querystring field of the web link, or do I have to populate a custom field with escaped characters?

TIA for your time and expertise.

I had to overcome this with my WebMagik II product and did so in two ways

I have a .dll that can be used to convert out the bad characters in GoldMine and 'clean up' the accountno's, so that they can be transmitted

I used an ASP.Net conversion that allowed me to send data in a block and then pick it apart as I needed at the web site

Both work

Right. We're going to create a .NET executable that will POST the account number to the Web page, and call the EXE from the Goldmine link instead of the Web page.

Thanks for the input.

Where is it? (The code, that is.)
