Chart Link URL Incorrect using Web

[#1]

Hi,

I want to provide a dynamic link to an internal web-based application for each record in QV straight table chart.  I set the Display Options Representation to "Link" and use this expression:

='> ERP<url>www.myserver.com/orders/view/singleselectionscreen.cfm?key=' & keyfieldname

In QV.exe, it works.  Each record has hyperlinked text as "> ERP".  The url it creates is "http://www.myserver.com/orders/view/selection.cfm?LN=8278210".  Clicking this link opens a browser window displaying the correct item in the other system.

But, when we promote to test in the web app, a web server url is added as a prefix and the url fails to connect to the desired target.  In the web version, the url is generated as: "http://web.server.name/QvAJAXZfc/www.myserver.com/orders/view/selection.cfm?LN=8278210".

What causes this and how do we fix it?

Thanks very much in advance for your advice!

You need to include the "http://" string in the URL. Otherwise, QV interprets it as relative URL and adds the server name.
