Not working *sob sob*.
These are precisely what I tried..........
<A HREF="SameSurname.cfm?Sur=#URLEncodedFormat("Sur")#>
(#SameSur.RecordCount# Customer(s) with same surname)
</A>
or
<A HREF="SameSurname.cfm?Sur=#URLEncodedFormat("#Sur#")#>
(#SameSur.RecordCount# Customer(s) with same surname)
</A>
or
<A HREF="SameSurname.cfm?Sur=#URLEncodedFormat('#Sur#')#>
(#SameSur.RecordCount# Customer(s) with same surname)
</A>
All of the above produce only a blank space on the screen where a link
should be.
Sur is a surname i.e. a text string.
The result is the same even when I directly write an actual surname (which
exists in the Db) in place of "A Text String".
