Asp Search results-Display hyperlink more elegantly

[napabrown]

Using FP 2003, mdb on the server, DRW worked great. One of the columns
is a hyperlink to an image on the server. Works fine, but I would like
to the search display to be something besides the text of the
hyperlink.

In other words, the column in the search results returns
"www.mysite.com/docs/imagefilename.tif". I would like it to return
either just the filename or maybe a thumbnail of the image. I am just
designing now but will be servicing over 20,000 records.

Any options to having the access mdb return text and format the column
as hyperlink in FP. Any tricks out there?

Set up your DB w/ 2 fields - see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216285
- one for the link and one for the friendly link text
