Go directly to the correct record

[BeckyMN]

I have a simple IWP question. I'm a real newbie at IWP, in fact I'm just starting my first project so be gentle.

This will just be a simple approval process. I would like to have regular Filemaker Pro (not IWP) create and send an email message to the approver when the record is ready for approval. In the body of the message I would like to have a hyperlink that when clicked would take the approver to the proper database (IWP) and to a specific record.

With the little experimenting I have done so far I can make the correct database file open but I don't know how to go directly to the correct record. Is this even possible with IWP? If not can it be done with CWP?

Simply stated, I want to go directly to a specific record in a specific database directly from a hyperlink in an email.

Thank you.

I don't think it would be easy to do with IWP. One option would be to use the startup script to direct the user to the appropriate record based on their account (Get(AccountName))

The hyperlink would get the approver to the correct database, where they would authenticate, and then the startup script would bring them to the record(s) needing approval.

Reed,

Thank you for you assistance! I hadn't checked back in a while and didn't know that you had provided an answer.

That's an idea I hadn't thought of. My plan was to take them to a specific record to approve but providing a list of all records that need approval may actually be better.

Just for my own FYI, do you or does anyone else know if going directly to a specific record using CWP is possible?
