Hi Alan,

since the Comments field of a Report-object doesn't get preprocessed by
XFRX, your various attempts cannot get you the expected results.

You could either modify the XFRX sourcecode (if you have bought the full
package), or contact Martina via supp...@eqeus.com to add that
functionality.

I also seem to remember, that you could rewrite the content of the
reportfile fields on the fly with some trick, thus you could rewrite the
content before it gets processed by XFRX. 

wOOdy

Betreff: Creating a hyperlink on a PDF via XFRX.

I'm reporting to PDF using XFRX. I need to create a hyperlink to an internet
URL. 

The method XFRX uses for this is via a string in the Comments field of a
report expression, so for example if I add a report expression with value =
"Click Here"  and put this in the comments:

#UR A HREF="https://www.rte.ie"; <https://tinyurl.com/yfzyu2s9>

Then the created PDF will have a clickable "Click Here" link to that site.
However I need to take the URL from a table field, i.e. not a static string,
but I can't get it to work. I've tried:

#UR A HREF=#+mytable.myfield
#UR A HREF=mytable.myfield
#UR A HREF=eval(mytable.myfield)

Has anyone ever done this ?
