Just a thought...you haven't got a numberFormat setting anywhere in the handler? If Rev is formatting the number in some way, (5.00 instead of just 5 for example) this might be screwing up the URL. if you check the 'constructed' URL in the message box, you can at least rule out this possibility

What happens if you put value(varName)? Also, when you put the variable into the message box do you have the 5 returned to you? You could declare it a global and check the contents to make sure it holds what you want. Mark On Mar 18, 2005, at 4:41 PM, Varen Swaab wrote: Thanks everyone, I app

Hi Varen, Klaus Thanks for the idea but this doesn't work either. There is something about this syntax that isn't right. Do you have another idea? Hmmm, maybe we need the url to be a folder? To get "index.html"...? Try: get url("http://www.domain.com/view/xml/name/"; & user & "/") Thanks. Regards
