My 2 cents, I think the 2nd url needs to be encoded as below, since its
a parameter of the first URL (and not part of it)
http://www.sanbachs.net/cgi-bin/count/countr.cgi?Name=URLv0158&Refer=http%3A%2F%2Ftravel.ian.com%2Findex.jsp%3FpageName=hotInfo%26cid=131241%26hotelID=114446
i.e., the following changes after the first ?
: %3A
/ %2F
= %3D
? %3F
& %26
Hope that helps

Thanks, Ralph, for your prompt reply.
I am trying to produce a link that counts a click-through from
knowmexico.com to a vendor's website and land's our user on a hotel specific
page on a hotel brand's website.
rv20 is a text string that is Sanbachs.net count incrementor. Part of its
mechanism has the "Name=" html function
rv21 is the property's image file # (a GZZZ9 field) in our database which is
needed to increment the click-through in a counting program Bruce Conrad has
developed for our website. Using apply.format["GZZZ9";PxFx] produces a space
in a 3 digit image file #. I've now changed it to apply.format["G9999";PxFx]
which produces a 0 in front of a 3 digit image file #. This is consistent
with Bruce's counting mechanism.
rv22 is another text string
rv23 is a field in our database that is the link to the hotel specific page
on the hotel brand's website. In this case it also contains the "Name=" html
function.
rv24 catenates rv20, rv21, rv22 and rv23.
It yields the following:
<a
href=http://www.sanbachs.net/cgi-bin/count/countr.cgi?Name=URLv0158&Refer=ht
tp://travel.ian.com/index.jsp?pageName=hotInfo&cid=131241&hotelID=114446><b>
<font color="navy">Check out special rates at</font> <img src="hclogo21.gif"
width=210 height= 74 align=middle></b></a>
The link breaks and does not recognize the text between
"URLv0158&Refer=http://travel.ian.com/index.jsp?pageName=";. It never goes to
the vendor's website.
Any suggestions are very welcome.
All the best,
Tony

Hello all ... Happy Holidays ...
I thought rv's could be catenated into an rv to output a text string. Is
this correct? If so, I must be doing something wrong. Look forward to
comments.
All the best,
Tony
