Re: Populating hyperlink in a character field in a browser
Hi Well you can also look forward to make use of the available Run Process ==> Use a Run Process from an ACTL which executes on a Button (you can make this button look like your text field and can add you xyz URL or Label to it ) eg PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL WWW.IMF.ORG <http://www.imf.org/> again if you want not to open a new browser window and use existing one than it will be PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL current WWW.IMF.ORG This design should not bother you for being on Native or Web Client.

Ramesh, Use a View field instead of a Character field. You insert HTML into the view field in a set field action and you will get what your after.
