Thanks Lee, Thanks very much for pointing me to that place!
So it is buried somewhere in FileMaker Help and I am glad to know that it is. Okay, that is true. (And this isn't like a big deal, and aimed at FileMaker Inc more than competing with people on this list, where after all, you all have been so helpful in the first place...) But: 1. That help is only under "Miscenllaneous" 2. It is only under a ScriptStep -- and this feature is *much* simpler to use than and is not dependent upon running a script. 3. There are no discipherable examples. if you think that: [quote] data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data> Where the following syntax applies: dataurl = "data:" [ mediatype ] [ ";base64" ] "," data mediatype = [ type "/" subtype ] *( ";" parameter ) data = *urlchar parameter = attribute "=" value [/quote] is easy to read and understand then you are a better than I am. But still, why not have the simple and clear example that Miki shared, or better yet, the classic! "data:text/html,<html> <head> </head> <body> <h1>Hello World!</h1> </body> </html>" Or better yet: "data:text/html,<html> <head> </head> <body> <h1>Hello " & Case(IsEmpty(NameFirst) = false; NameFirst; "World") & "!</h1> </body> </html>" It really is that simple -- almost as simple as a simple calculation window, you just need to know to prefix it with "data:text/html,". Again, thanks for pointing me to the FileMaker inclusion and that pointed me to the RFC, and that is really the wonderful thing. I just continue to quibble that I think FileMaker Help could cover this simpler, in more places and more explicitly. But maybe all this bluster is just to cover my embarrassment for not being able to find it or figure it out on my own :-) ... Maybe?... Probably! Thanks to everyone again!
