Web Viewer and UPS

[Baylah]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have the correct definition (syntax) for the UPS tracking web site?

Thanks,

Steve

This is the one we provide: UPS Tracking

this is not what I was looking for, I am aware fo the UPS site. In FMP 8.5 when you select the Web Viewer control you are presented a list of pre-installed destinations(for lack of a better term)to some of the poplular web sites and the code in the web address box to direct your FMP field(s) to the proper place on the web site fields. For exmaple:

FedEx=

"http://www.fedex.com/tracking?"& "tracknumbers=" and yourdb::yourDB::YourField

Google =

"http://www.google.com/search?" & "q=" & yourDB::YourField.

I am wondering if anyone ahs the proper syntax to add to the Web Address bar for UPS. I have a client that I think would love to have this feature installed on their DB but I don't know how or where to find this information on my own.

Thank you,

Steve

Substitute("wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&loc=en_US&Requester=UPSHome&tracknum=MYTRACKINGNUM&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&ignore=&track.x=36&track.y=5"; "MYTRACKINGNUM"; YOUR_TABLE::YOUR_Tracking_Number_FIELD)

Here is what I am trying to enter but I keep geting the "An Operator (e.g. +,-,*...) is expeced here" Error.

"wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processIn putRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&loc=en_US&Reque ster=UPSHome&tracknum =MYTRACKINGNUM&AgreeT oTermsAndConditions=yes&a mp;ignore=&track.x=36&track.y=5"; [color:blue]"MYTRACKINGNUM"; sales::tTkgNum

I have tried several different things to make this work but nothing seems to help. Any ideas what I might be doing worng? I get the error insertion beofer the blue part.

Thanks,

SF

BTW, I dont think you need all of that

Try just this:

"http://wwwapps.ups.com/etracking/tracking.cgi?tracknum=" & sales::tTkgNum

That works too Vodka. Funny how there always seems to be a shorter code for doing the same thing.

Does anyone know if you can use one field for either UPS or FedEx?

I'm a newbie so I'm not sure how this should be done, but I'm assuming is could be scripted considering UPS generally uses "1Z" for the first 2 characters. I think if I told the script to look for the first 2 and if they were "1Z" to use UPS, if not use FedEx?

Can someone give some advice on how to make this work?

Thanks.
