cdml & URL's .. href document preview

[data_tools]

I have a DB and CDML Files in my FMPro web folder. Everything seems to work right, but ... I can

You need 2 seperate fields

1 which contains the text to display and

1 which contains the URL

Then on your results page enter this:

<A HREF="FMPro?-db=DatabaseName.fp5&-lay=LayoutName&-format=[FMP-FIELD: URLField]">[FMP-FIELD: TextField]</FONT></A>

That should work

Sandy,

There's a new thread over in "Using FileMakerr Online" that seems to give a simpler solution to the problem of clickable URLs.

But I'm curious myself about the second part of your question: opening PDF, Word or Excel files over the Web. I'm trying to imagine how that would work. I would have assumed people would have to download the files to their own computers first, so if anyone knows how it can be done I'd love to hear it too.

Thanks.

Ernie
