Attempting to build a link that would navigate users to a google map page.  What am I doing wrong? Using the logic below results in an "http://<a href=" ahead of the url. i.e. http://<a href=http://:www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=> Street 1 City State Zip</a>

var text Words = ([Account - Venue Address: Street 1]&" "&[Account - Venue Address: City]&" "&[Account - Venue Address: State/Region]&" "&[Account - Venue Address: Postal Code]);
var text URL = ("http://:www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=");
"<a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Words & "</a>"

not tested recently, but try this. Let me know if it works.


var text URL = "http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q="
&URLEncode([Account - Venue Address]);

var text Words = ToText([Account - Venue Address]);

"<a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Words & "</a>"
