Fedex Tracking #

[Gregory Anderson]

How do you place a Field name Fedex which represents diferent tracking
# depending on which record is button is pressed. (into the Fedex.com
tracking address
http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?track...ode=us&mps=y&ascend_header=1&imageField=Track

 

[Paul Overway]

The following would be placed in the click event for the button (watch line
wrap)

FollowHyperlink "http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?tracknumbers=" & [FedexField]
&
"&action=track&language=english&cntry_code=us&mps=y&ascend_header=1&imageFie
ld=Track"

Bear in mind that FedEx could change the URL and your app would be broke.

Thanks Paul
It worked, but when I click on another tracking number it tracks the
previous number only. I can not get it to copy another number.

Is your field actually named Fedex? If so, change [FedexField} to [FedEx]

It is named [Tracking]
Me.Command47.HyperlinkAddress =
"http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?tracknumbers=" & [Tracking] &
"&action=track&language=english&cntry_code=us&mps=y&ascend_header=1&imageField=Track"

I don't understand why it dosent refresh when another button is
pressed

 

[Paul Overway]

Well...you're not doing what I suggested. Use FollowHyperlink. To use
..HyperlinkAddress, you need to write code to assign a new value in
Form_OnCurrent. My way is more straightforward.
