Thanks Sarah I don't think I understand your reply. The variable "theLink" holds a well-formed url. I'm looking to add to that url by adding the contents of another variable "subID"
Example: variable theLink holds "http://www.google.com"; variable subID holds a number such as "44568" I'm looking for a way to combine both variables so the result is: http://www.google.com/44568 I have been trying to combine the values of both the variables like this: get URL(&theLink&"/"&subID&) and nothing will work that I've tried. Given the fact that all the other code in my example works fine and all I want to do is append an existing url with the variable subID I thought the code would work as my example above. In your example you're showing how to match a url sting and a variable but I'm trying to combine two variables, one of which holds a url and the other a number. I have no idea of the correct syntax to do that. Thanks for helping. Varen On 5/5/05 9:59 PM, "Sarah Reichelt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I'm trying to create a url to connect to an http server.
