Hi All!

I'm trying to create a custom homepage for my db rather than using the built-in one in FileMaker. Creating the page is easy but what I can't figure out is to create a hyperlink that will link to my db. Is there some type of "special" code in FileMaker that you need to use to create a hyperlink that when clicked on the webpage will open my db?

Thank you in advance!

Jackie

Use the "built-in" home page and check the page source. You should be able to see the URL's for each of the databases. You should then be able to use those within your own home page.

Good Luck.

Hi, Jackie! I did what Garry said (using the built-in first) except I clicked the link and copied it the address from the URL. Here's a copy/paste from a post I just did that coincidentally may be what you want... I'd recommend doing it yourself, though, since yours actually works. The person I was trying to help could not get any kind of web publishing working.

If you want to see if IWP works, here is the URL if an IWP-published db (copy/paste from my terminal)..

http: (spacefornourl) //mydomainandport.com/FMRes/FMPJS?-db=test.fp5&-layID=1&-token=25&

-max=1&-format=formvwcss.htm&-mode=browse&-findall

Change the mydomainandport.com and -db=test.fp5 parts to match yours
