DRW & Hyperlinks (FP 03)

[Guest]

I created a search page using the drw connected to an access database. I want
to add email and website links to the corresponding fields in my search
results, but my attempts have been unsuccessful. I followed the instructions
from spiderwebwoman's handy reference page, but my website links are still
coming accross incorrectly. The mailto links work great. However, the website
address result are adding the path of my website before the actual web
address. I"m using the same process for both email and website fields. Here's
a the url of my search page for reference:

Thank you so much for your time! This discussion group is an invaluable
resource!

Sorry about that - I guess that section needs updating for FP2003

In Design View, right-click on the field, choose Database Column Value
Properties, check Display as Hyperlink and click OK.

In the test I did last night, the data type of the field in my database was
hyperlink, and the data began with http:// You might want to take a look
at your database.

1. Make sure that the URL link is stored in a text field in the database.
2. Manually look at the code on the page where you are displaying the URL link, and change it to:
<a href="http://<%=fp_rs("LinkURLfieldname")%>">URLLinkName</a>
