DBR cell w/hyperlink ?

F

Frank

Simple DBR from an Access table where one of the fields is a file name.
In the DBR, for that field, I want to have a hyperlink to open the named
file.
I cannot remember the syntax, something like a combo of rs-fp FieldLink

This is wrong <a href="=FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,%22igcfile%22)">

can somebody get me on the right track?

Ok, got this code working now, but have another problem.... the file
opens in the window.

When the user clicks on the file name I do not want the file to open ...
I want the User to have a download/Save option in lieu of Open.

What is the file type of the link
- if it is a known browser type file it will always open in browser window
(unless it is in say a zip file or a file that can be a server side generated type file)

It is an xxx.IGC file which is a GPS log file used to record a flight.
The actual internals of the file are just text.
I can always get around this by right-click on the link and "Save Target
as.... "
But you know how Users are, so I was looking for a way to only offer a
Save when clicking on the link
