Redirect button that pulls URL from another field

Hi, I have one field that collects a URL input from the user and I am trying to make a button that will take the user inputted URL and redirect to it. Where I am having trouble is getting the button ...

here is the generic format

var text Words = "Click here to display record";
var text URL = URLRoot() &"db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#];

"<a class='Vibrant Primary'" & " a href=" & $URL & " target=_blank" & ">" & $Words & "</a>"

..... so it should be

var text Words = "Go to Share Point";
var text URL = [my sharepoint URL data entry field];

"<a class='Vibrant Primary'" & " a href=" & $URL & " target=_blank" & ">" & $Words & "</a>"

Thanks Mark!
Before I had a chance to comeback and check this I found another non-code solution. I made another URL field that is displayed as a button and made an automation that when an email was entered in the first field it would change the URL in the button field to the same email.
