I have a button on my item card

on push I have hyperlink('www.google.com');

what I would like to do is add the item description to the search

so when google open's it's already listing whatever it found using that items description.

I hope that made sense

I've tried
HYPERLINK('WWW.GOOGLE.COM'+' '+'Search='+Description);

but it's not the correct format - anybody have a clue?

    SearchText := 'hello world';
    
    hyperlink('http://www.google.com/search?q=' + SearchText);

    Hm, a good idea! One click and you find out the competition is selling the same product at half the price :-k :mrgreen:

    Actually I recommend Froogle, that's exactly for this. For example, the Western Digital 120GB Passport external hard drive I just bought... hm, it seems there were better offers out there than Amazon.co.uk's appr. $127 price:

    Actually it's not for comparing prices, but i guess it could be used for that.

    We sell alot of products on our own site & on amazon. But typing in all that item detail for every item can be a real pain so I was hoping to 8-[ borrow 8-[ someone elses details.

    That's why I wanted to copy paste to work from this topic but it's not working too great.

    Another tip- Say you enter an item and you want to go to the vendors website and get a pic and/or detailed verbage for an item.

    You can quickly add a command button on the item card with code
    OnPush()
    Vendor.GET("Vendor No.");
    HYPERLINK(Vendor."Home Page");
    

    and it will bring you right to the home web page of the vendor for that item (as long as you fill in the link on the vendor card)
