Question

Text Formula URL to open external webpage

I want to create a formula text "button" that will open a specific html page I have built in QB - this URL also passes information from some of the fields in the table it sits on:

This is what the URL looks like:


https://MY.quickbase.com/db/bxbxbxbxbx?a=dbpage&pageID=7&aid=[Record ID#]&company=[Company Name for URL]&time=[Date and Time for URL]

I'm having trouble getting it to work - and it's probably something silly I am missing.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

I'm not understanding what you are trying to do, but I observe that you have &aid= In it.  Did you mean &rid=
yes, rid - ...

what I am trying to do - I have this in an email with html:  "<a href="https://MY.quickbase.com/db/bxbxbxbxbx?a=dbpage&pageID=7&rid=[Record ID#]&company=[Company Name for URL]&time=[Date and Time for URL]">

it works fine from the email - but if I try to make a button out of it ... it doesn't pull the information from the fields in... that's the part I need help with
I got it!!

Here is what I did

"https://MY.quickbase.com/db/bxbxbxbxbx?a=dbpage&pageID=7&rid="&; URLEncode([Record ID#])&"&company="& URLEncode([Company Name for URL])&"&time="& URLEncode([Date and Time for URL])


Works beautifully now
I would love to know what you did, because i have a similar need

Sergio, I suggest that you post a new question.
