Can HTML tags be embedded in the definition of a calc field, so that (for instance) part of the returned text is underlined?

Or is there a better way?

Hey dan.

Nope. That won't work unless you're exporting as an html file. Sure would be a nice feature though.

Multiple bummer.

Is there any way to program a calc field so that part of the returned text is underlined?

A possible way around this is to use 3 merge fields like this.

<<PlainText1>><<UnderlinedText>><<PlainText2>>

Format the middle one as underlined, and put the appropriate parts in the respective fields.

There is a spell checking example on www.databasepros.com that underlines unknown words in red (like MS Word). A neat and nifty solution worth looking at, but it requires text fields formatted in monospaced font to work.

I have a questions I believe is similar to Dan. That is, I have a very simple table that I'd like to output and publish on the web. In the table I would like to have an active e-mail link automatically generated. I can see it's possible but can't seem to generate the correct syntax. Any help would be appreciated...

<INPUT type="hidden" name="-mailto" value="[FMP-field:email]">

and in link

<A href='mailto:[FMP-Field:head3]?Subject=Registration for [FMP-Field: Day]&body=I am registering for [FMP-Field: Day], "[FMP-Field: englishname]".' title="Click for email">Click here for email</A>
