HYPERLINK changes URL-address

Emerik · 2009-07-30

Hi all,
I have a problem with hyperlinks.

I've written a very simple codeunit with the following code:

OnRun()
HYPERLINK('http://www.mibuso.com');

When I run it, a browser opens with the URL:
http://www.mibuso.com/%20"http://www.mibuso.com/"

Every time the HYPERLINK function is used, this happens.
What can be the reason and, of course, the resolution?

The client version is Attain 3.60 and cannot be upgraded.

Thx for any help.

Regards,
Emerik

are you running this from a command button or something?

this is something i would see if the bottons properties are filled AND you added code behind the button. so it's running both

Hi Savatage (and other readers),

No, the problem was first discovered somewhere else, and the investigation of the problem led to this experiment, where I just made a very simple codeunit, as described, and ran it from the Object Designer.

There is no hidden code. The behaviour of the HYPERLINK function is faulty.

Kind regards,
Emerik

So every hyperlink you try is showing double?

your example//
http://www.mibuso.com/%20"http://www.mibuso.com/"

Or not always?
Did you debug to see if this CU is being called 2x?

PS what version? I know we have no issues with Hyperlink.

Here's a post that suggest using WSH Shell instead of hyperlink due to it's buggyness

It's not spelled "buginess", because that would be pronounced "big-nizz"

A HTML file.

Always. Something's seriously wrong.

I solved the problem temporarily by a shell command:

SHELL('iexplore ' + URL);

But it is neither browser-independent nor pretty nor solving the real problem.

Kind regards,

You are experiencing something strange :-k

Microsoft Navision requires that the Fin.stx file contain a list of all file types that are supported by the hyperlink command.

perhaps it lies in your fin.stx file :-k do all your machines experience this problem?
