Adding Link to Field in Form

I am trying to build a view that has links to another database. I would like to be able to add the links into the form, but have been unable to figure out how to do that. Right now it is a Text Field. I try to copy a link into the field, but it does not show up in the view as a link.

If by links, you mean document/view/database links, then in order to place these in a field on a document, the field has to be rich text.

Thanks, that does let me input the link. But I can not get it to show in the view so that someone can click on it and go to the other database.

There is no way to do that in a notes client view. views display documents, that’s it. Generally, if you needed a database link to display along with the document listing, you would either put it on another page in the frameset or embed the view in a page and put the link on that page (doing this changes your nav structure as you would have to open pages instead of views)

Another way you could do this is to just create a button in the view that opens the database you want… unless there is a reason you want to use a db link. I guess the question is, what is your goal? What do you have and what are you looking to accomplish?
