Ok thanks for answering. Thanks for the idea. I include the first part of
the url and replace the code section with the argument passed to the view.
When I used the entire URL it did not work. The only problem I don't like
with this approach is that the user has to enter the code (which is
sometimes hard to extract for some users) in the form. Is there an easy way
for the user? To just copy the url or something like that.
Thanks again.
