hyperlink results to re-run report

[butkus]

Writing in CR8.5 against DB2 v.7

I created a report that searchs names and returns info based on exact matches, I also provide the user with a soundex list on names in case no exact match exists. From CE 8, the user can refresh the report using the soundex info return. Is it possible to have the soundex returns be hyperlinks that would rerun the main report with that feild value? If so, that sure would be handy!!

Thanks in advance.

You might code this using some front end using CSP/ASP, but the built in functionality won't all for this.

You might be able to create the URL pass through as a hyperlink by creating a formula:
