Just starting with databases so be gentle please.......

I've created a data base and actually managed to get it to show up on my
test site. I have hyperlinks to external sites and they work but I would
like them to open in a new window. I understand how to do that in "hypelink
properties" for regular links but I am unable to access hypelink properties
in the database.

Test site is http://www.bdmcdaytona.com/testdux/agentroster.asp

Thanks
 
First, remove all the gray code from the area that displays the field, and
then add the target tag, so it looks like this - the trick is to surround
the _blank with single quotes, not double.

<p><b>Web Site:</b>&nbsp;<%="<a target='_blank' href=""" &
FP_FieldLink(fp_rs,"website") & """>" & FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"website") &
"</a>"%></p>

If you examine the "html code" for a regular link I believe you will see a
"_blank" in there someplace. If your database has the html linking code
located in the DB, you can add the _link into that code. If the DB display
page has all the html code except the URL address you can add the _blank
directly to the page.

Hope that helps,
Tom
