I want to put a hyperlink into my database so users can click it when viewing a record. There would be different hyperlinks for each record, so how do I go about it? Or is there another way to get the same effect?
 
hi schollb!
this is relatively easy proces.
1]
Create a text field (lets call it "WEBSITE")
2]
Create a script ("GO2WEBSITE")
Open URL["WEBSITE"]
<-- u specify the Filed Value & Perform without Dialog
3]
on the layout used to view records (NOT to ENTER)
in the layout mode select the field &quot;WEBSITE&quot; and then go to Format-->Button...-->Perform the script
and select the script u made &quot;GO2WEBSITE&quot;


this way, any time user click on the filed it will be taken to the web site that is associated with that record!
Let me know if u need more help!
All the best!


 
I am afraid I don't understand the second part of the process. How do I designate the &quot;Open URL&quot; function?
 
2]
Scripts-->ScriptMaker...(give it some name + click create)
then
on the left side browse to (towards bottom) to the &quot;Open URL&quot;
move it to the right and now u will see
-------------
Open URL []
-------------
and duble-click on it and
Select the &quot;Field Value&quot;
and then point to that field u created (txt field WEBSITE) and also decide if u want users to &quot;Perform Witout Dialog&quot; and just going directly to the site. (browser used will be the one that is set to defualt to handle URL ..so IE or Netscape...)


All the best!
