To create a web page that shows hyperlinks (from a database) to other files or web sites, carry out the following steps.
Step
1: Add a URL to a database field
In the relevant field in your database, enter a value that represents a URL (of either an absolute or relative file location) that will appear on a web page and point to one of the following:
A file in the same
web site and folder as the
page that appears when the user clicks the link
To represent a file in the same web site and folder, type the value in this format: filename.htm
A file in
the same web site but in a different
folder than the page that appears when the user clicks the link
To represent a file in the same web site but in a folder one level below, type the value in this format: folder/filename.htm
A different web site
To represent a different web site, type the value in this format: http://www.microsoft.com
Step
2: Create the page that will appear when you click the link
Note If you are using an existing Database Results region, right-click the Database Results region, and then click Database Results Properties to start the wizard.
In the Record Source list, choose the table containing the hyperlink values you entered in step 1.
When the page is viewed in HTTP in a Web browser, the value will be displayed as a hyperlink on the page.
