Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2008 9:36 am Points: 0 bar n00b Joined: 09 Dec 2008 Posts: 5 I have a customer field I added to the contact screen called customer code. I am trying to have the customer screen have a hotlink to the following URL. .com/elementoolweb/webform2.aspx?mnem=???? I need to implant [ucustcode] where the ???? is. I created another field called [ucusthist] and I am trying to build the URL there in the expressions. The lookup.ini may be the solution. However, I need help on this quickly. Any Takers.?

See this article for a similar situation. Or, better yet, make a nice GM+View out of it. _________________ Doug Castell GoldMine Sales and Support: http://www.castellcomputers.com/ office: (310)601-4738 Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2008 11:32 am Points: 0 bar n00b Joined: 09 Dec 2008 Posts: 5 The Article indicates to RIGHT CLICK the outlook like task bar. Sorry don't have one. Any other suggestions....

That taskbar has moved up to the toolbar area. To turn it on, right-click at the top of the screen in any empty area to the right of your menubar or existing toolbar and check 'Task Bar'. Then use the customize button and continue with the article's instructions from there. _________________ Doug Castell GoldMine Sales and Support: http://www.castellcomputers.com/ office: (310)601-4738 Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2008 5:53 pm Points: 0 bar n00b Joined: 09 Dec 2008 Posts: 5 Great I see that. However, <<ucustcode>> is a custom field and doesn't work. How do I get it to display Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2008 9:01 pm Points: 0 DougCastell GoldMine Guru Joined: 15 Jun 2006 Posts: 1639 Location: Los Angeles, CA In a parameter field, just use <<contact2->userdefinedfield>> For a GM+View or similar (web linking) escape it like this: Code: &lt;&lt;contact2-&gtuserdefinedfield&gt;&gt; _________________ Doug Castell GoldMine Sales and Support: http://www.castellcomputers.com/ office: (310)601-4738 Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 6:33 am Points: 0 DJ GoldMine Guru Joined: 29 Jun 2006 Posts: 2055 Location: Fitchburg, MA, USA I could be wrong, but I'm too missing a semicolon here? -&gt ; userdefinedfield _________________ DJ Hunt Phone: (978)342-3333 Email: DJ@DJHunt.US GoldMine Premium - The Defintive Guide One-on-One GoldMine Technical Support ( Fee Based ) www.DJHunt.US Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 10:31 am Points: 0 bar n00b Joined: 09 Dec 2008 Posts: 5 Thanks for saving me major headsaches. This is working. I have a GM View that works now. However, I need the GM view to work only when the UCUSTCODE is not NULL. the RULES work, but I have hundreds of variable to add. So I want to use the dbase Expression to do something. my GM+View is called hdhist Every expression I try is invalid. Example of an expression iif(contact2-ucustcode) is not null, "HDHIST","") or iif(contact2-ucustcode) <>"" How do I write a dbase expression RULE to say SHOW the GM+VIEW of hdhist if the UCUSTCODE field is NOT NULL???? I can then sleep... Thanks Tony Ricci Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 1:35 pm Points: 0 DougCastell GoldMine Guru Joined: 15 Jun 2006 Posts: 1639 Location: Los Angeles, CA try Code: contact2->ucustcode<>'' Personally, I alywas have the GM+Views be user-selected. Saves such headaches. _________________ Doug Castell GoldMine Sales and Support: http://www.castellcomputers.com/ office: (310)601-4738 Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 2:28 pm Points: 0 bar n00b Joined: 09 Dec 2008 Posts: 5 Thanks again.
