How to set paramater to pass in the URL line

[rjolda]

Hi
Trying to pass the value of a VARIABLE as a parameter on the URL line for a Lookup button.
For the Lookup button, Parameters(n=v&n=v) seem to pass the string and not the value of the string itself - e.g.
I want to pass the contents of CLS:DX1 field which is actually = '250.55'
Setting the Parameters line   lookfld=CLS:DX1  actually passes the text   'lookfld=CLS:DX1' in the URL parameter list - I want it to look like  'lookfld=250.55'
so that I can get the value in the called procedure.
What is the trick?
THanks

I'm not sure which parameters line you are referring to Ron, but its obviously wrapping your entry into one big string.

You might get it to work like    lookfld= ' & Cls:Dx1 & '
note the single quote at the end
that will take the 'lookfld='  as a literal,  then the value of the variable and a single quote as Bruce will add a single quote to the end of your expression, so it will add a nothing to the end

In the module you should go to "Source" and find lookfld=
You will see how NT8 is constructing the expression.

Hi,
Thanks - that was the correct setup to get the actual value passed in the URL!
