C/AL Function HYPERLINK

kszymanski

Hi,

i have a small problem with the function HYPERLINK().

If i call a URL with CGI-Parameters i have the following
situations:

a) If i call the URL (with Parameters) and the Browser
(in this case IE 5.x) is not startet, there will be
displayed the Sites Mainpages (i get when i call the
URL without parameters)

b) If i call the URL (with Parameters) and the browser
is allready open all works right.

Is this a problem of HYPERLINK ?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Kai.

No, that's a "feature" of Windows. When the hyperlink address contains spaces, you should surround the text with double-quotes to have it properly processed. This is valid also when passing (long) filenames, see your desktop shortcuts properties for examples.

Hi John,

thats what i think 'at first'. But this isn'nt the problem. There
are no spaces in the URL.

Thanks for your answer.

Best regards,

Just had a bright moment. Remembered there's an obscure commandline parameter to start IExplorer and bypass the default startup page.

Put -NOHOME in front of the URL. That should do the trick. Tried it from Start, Run and typed in "iexplore.exe -NOHOME www.mynavision.net" and got this page right away.
