I have a simple Python macro to do the trick. It may be too simple since it does not include any error handling. def url_on_record_change(oEv): frm = oEv.Source cols = frm.getColumns() btn = frm.getByName("URL_Button") tag = btn.Tag field = cols.getByName(tag) btn.TargetURL = field.getString() Having a text field with valid URL strings, you add a push button to the same form or subform. Set the button's action property to "Open URL". Set the "additional info" property to the column name (name of the text field's data column) Assign the macro to the *form's* record change event. Every time when the form moves to some record, the field's URL string will be assigned to the push button's URL and a click on the button calls the URL of the field. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Hyperlink-Field-Types-in-Base-tp3990273p3990593.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
