First I would update your post profile as the webviewer does not exist in FM6.

Second, what do you mean by "search that company"? do you mean a search engine search such as google or yahoo?

A little more info and clarification is needed here.

Hi,

First of all sorry for selecing wrong client info.

I am looking actually company's website.

So I think first of all it should search in yahoo or google or any other engine. Then from there it should shift the site (URL) to my database field.

Adding to this I did just now one big mistake. I was designing this solution and put the password. I created thank you secreen with pause of 2 sec. Which I was interested to put at closing script. and by mistake I put it in opening script. Now when i am opening its pause for 2 sec and closing it down. Unfortunately I have "Allow user abort statement also in the script"

Please help, I have lot of work done in this software and I can not go inside.

I am using filemaker 9 advanced.

Sorry Vodka, I could go inside. I went to script debugger and from there I re edited the script and then I went inside.

Just help me now with URL issue, pleas.

The webviewer has a built in Google search template, it looks like this:

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

You can make it search your field by modifying it:

"http://www.google.com/search?" & "q=" & my::company

Assuming you click the link that Google finds and your web viewer is now displaying the company site, you can make a button that stores the URL in a field with this script step:

Set Field( my::URL; GetLayoutObjectAttribute("myWebViewer" ; "source" )
