Hi Tim, Maybe this recipe will get you started: - make a new field "Test" - type some text in it, including the URL ; say: Excellent: http://www.runrev.com made this possible! - then use the message box and type this: set the linkText of word 2 of field "Test" to "http://www.runrev.com"; set the textStyle of word 2 of field "Test" to "link" - then set the script of the field to: ## on linkClicked pLinkText revGoURL pLinkText end linkClicked ## Now you'll have a field with a clickable link, and it opens the default browser to the specified URL. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. Quartam Reports for Revolution <http://www.quartam.com> ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."
