Is there a way to add a clickable URL to a form?  I have a form that asks some very specific question and there are websites that explain the question.  I would like to include the website on the form so that the user can click it to better understand.  Is there a way to do that?

Hi Diane;

  Your question is a bit vague. By "form" do you mean: HTML Web Page; PDF Fill-able Form; DataWindow; etc? A lot more detailed explanation would be appreciated here in order to answer your question properly.
Regards .. Chris

Sorry about that, I didn't realize there were so many options.  Yes, this is an Infomaker form.  I'm assuming it is what you are referring to as a Data Window form.  We use Infomaker in conjunction with Jenzabar software and this form comes up within that software.

Hi Diane;

Yes, the IM FORM is a PowerBuilder DataWindow (under the hood). In PB though, you do have a HyperLink object that would give you the ability when clicked to take you to any specified URL. However, while the IM product is a "subset" of PB, it does not expose any of the Hyperlink features to the IM Form Painter (unfortunately). Thus the answer is NO.

What the Jenzabar application software developers could do though is recreate the IM Form in PB and then add any HyperLink(s) or other features to the form that you might need as PB is very flexible, more powerful & supports a comprehensive programming language capabilities.

I'm one of the Jenzabar developers so I would recommend contacting our product support and they will forward it to development.

Hi Diane, I'm not aware of way to do this in InfoMaker.  You may need to have Jenzabar customize this for you using PowerBuilder.
