Open URL in a new window

[Phil K]

I calculate a URL (complicated string concatenation) and use the 'Open URL' script step to display the resulting web page in a browser.

Is there a way to force a new browser window? In html, you would add target="blank" to an <a href="... sequence. Any way to do that in FileMaker?

Thanks,

Try using the Send Message script step instead. You will need to add the path to IE or the browser you are using to your calculated URL field.

It will need to look like:

 C:Progra~1Intern~1iexplore.exe  http://www.google.com 

In my testing, this opened a new window for each URL. Unfortunately, it will also open a new window for a URL that already has a window open.

Hope this helps,

Steve
