ASP and Linking Question/Help

[JCrowe]

I am working on a project using FP 03 and an Access database. I have a
"Search" button on the home page that allows visitors to search the database
using categories. When submitted the results of the specicifed category is
returned to the category_results.asp page.

What I would like to acheive from this point is to have the "Merchant" field
be configured as a "link" so when it is clicked it will display the
specified business card. If anyone could help me out with this I woule
really appreciate it.

Please review the site at http://www.server404.com:81

Thanks,
JCrowe

In the database, code the value of the Merchant field as a hyperlink:
<a href="http://www.backyarddreams.com/">Backyard Dreams</a>

Then, in FP, in Design View, right-click on the field and choose Database
Column Value Properties, and tick the box that says "Column value contains
HTML".
