I am developing a FM application, that works in combination with DeLorme Street Atlas, where the route for the drivers is exported to Delorme and he uses a GPS to visit all his stops. DeLorme supports hyperlinks for every mappoint (custom imported data field on the map) - it would be ideal if the driver could click on that hyperlink and that would bring him back to the matching record in the database, so he can look up information about his stop that he is about to make.

Is there a way to refer to individual database records through a hyperlink?

BTW - I am not talking about a webbased database - I want to use the local database that is on the same computer as DeLorme.....

THX

It's simple;

create a button with a script:

Go to related/record()

And how would I call this button from DeLorme? I want to be able to click on the Hyperlink in DeLorme to take me to the related record in Filemaker. Sorry, if I did not make that clear enough.

Thanks

I don't believe this is possible -- at least not without some sort of wild workaround. I'll be jumping-for-joy if I'm wrong.

Isn't that what FM is all about? Wild workarounds?

Sometimes it sure seems that way.
