Make a URL button unclickable?

Question

Hi everyone, does anybody know of a way to make a URL button unclickable based on certain criteria? I have a child table report (each child record has a URL button) on a parent form, and I want to make it so a URL button is only clickable if certain criteria are met for each child record on the report.

A formula URL button will only be visible if the URL is not blank.

so just do

var text URL = and put your existing code here ;

IF(some conditions are true, $URL)

Of course, makes perfect sense, thank you! If even hides the button all by itself if I set it to null, awesome.------------------------------Elena Larrabee------------------------------

… And then you decide if you want to show the button label or set the form to hide the button label.
