Hyperlinks

Hi, I'm trying to write a script to use information in a field, but can't get it to work.

I've managed to get a new outlook email window to open with the email address from a field, but can't get a new web page to open from an web address in a field.

Any ideas?

If the url is the only item in the field you can use the Open URL command available in scriptmaker.

I've tried the Open URL command, and it works with the mailto: entries but not with the http:// entries!

It's works ok if I've typed the web address into the script, but nothing happens if I'm using the field.

Just tried it again and it worked, opened up the new webpage and everything, but tried a second time and I get nothing!!!! Am I making some simple mistake somewhere?
