A rank beginner here but a fast learner with a simple query.

I have a field that constructs a unique URL for each record. I want a button that uses a script to open that URL. The open URL function is flummoxing me.

What is the script?

Thanks, Ted

You must specify the field where the URL is stored.

Double-click the Open URL step in your script (or select it, then click the Specify button in the options area at the bottom). From the list of fields at the top left select MyTableOccurrence::myURLField and click OK. Back in the script step list, check “Perform without dialog”.

Make sure that MyTableOccurrence (which you choose from "This calculation will be evaluated …") is the TO your script will be on when it executes the Open URL step.

Goodness me, I really am embarrassed. I worked with FMP 6 some years back, and it will take some time for me to re-calibrate to the FM way of doing things.

Thanks.
