I am using the builder to create an asp page that links to external websites.
I have a field for the site the name, and then the URL, and comments about the website. this is for our IT staff to refer back to periodically.
I have the Site name, Ex: CODECHARGE set as link for editing. In the URL field i have spelled out http://www.codecharge.com. But i want to be able to click on it and it take me to the codecharge site and i can't seem to figure out how to accomplish it. I am a relatively new codecharge user.
thanks for any help.

1. The field that is hyperlinked click on the field (it must be a Label field)
view it's properties. Click on the Data tab of it's properties and change the Content from Text to HTML - so you output pure HTML.
2. Click on the events tab of the field and where there is the "before show" event Right Click to "add Code".
3. In the Code output the code as you would be writing HTML output.
eg Assuming ASP and the field's name is "TheFieldName"
Dim strFieldValue
Dim strHLinkValue
Dim strHTML
strFieldValue = YourControlName.TheFieldName.Value
strHLinkValue = YourControlName.DataSource.RecordSet.Fields("TheHLinkFieldName")
strHTML = "<a Href=""" & strHLinkValue & """>" & strFieldValue & "</a>"
YourControlName.TheFieldName.Value = strHTML
Hope that helps
