generate tables that include hyperlinks

[bender]

Trying to get away from using the FP DRW, and write search pages where
the results come out in tables formatted the way I like, and include
one or more columns that are hyperlinks. I've found a few nice
methods, but so far have not found a way to have one of the results
columns contain a hyperlink. any suggestions?

thanks,

bender

Download the GenericDB application and see how they do it. [url]www.genericdb.com[/url]

I'm not suggesting that you use the application: it depends much too highly
on session variables, and some of the things it does ("select * ", opening a
recordset simply to retrieve the metadata, closing it, and reopening it to
get the data) are not optimum. But you will see one way to write hyperlinks
into a table.
