Hi all,
NAV2009SP1: When calling an URL it is sometimes (depending on user-rights) necessary to let them do the call, but with an error-message in the Internet Explorer.
How on earth do I pass this message on to the Explorer?

Anyone with the solution - thanks in advance.

    It looks like this:

    URL := Gmail.com;
    HYPERLINK(URL);
    In some instances users should not be allowed to make this call to the internet. I wish the browser to show up with an error text provides by me and with a little guidance where it is allowed.

    You can't display that error message in Internet Explorer. You'll need to display it in NAV, before executing the HYPERLINK-statement:
    IF NOT allowed THEN
  ERROR('Not allowed')
ELSE
  HYPERLINK(URL);

    If you want the error message show in the browser, replace the URL with one pointing to a pre-prepared error document.

    And by the way, 'Gmail.com' is not an URL, 'http://gmail.com/' is. If the former works, you are just lucky.
    (Or is the URL contained in a field named com in Table Gmail?)

    And, from your initial post I could not figure out what you wanted to do.

    And one additional thought: Is this the right way to do it? Shouldn't you (or rather the sysadmin) set up a filtering proxy instead?
