creating a dynamic hyperlink that links to .me

[splreece]

Morning all,

A strange one and one I can't find anything on the interweb....


I have a dbase with 8000+ entries... that is constantly added to.

Each entry is emailed in a report to an owner.

Ideally what I would like is for each new entry added... is it possible to have a hyperlink automatically generated that links back to the database and to the entry.

This means the person getting the report pdf can then just click on the hyperlink embedded in the doc and it will automatically open the dbase and that particular entry.


Any ideas where to start?

Does the person who gets the report, have access to the network in which the database is stored?

personally, I think you might be better expanding the email to include the info they might need to see when connecting to the database.

one way of opening to a specific record might be to create a small text file etc. The database open routine could first check for such a file. In not there, or not dated today, then open normally, if it is there, then do something different. That way you aren't trying to pass parameters to the database directly.
