I have looked here and in designer help- if I have a valid url- there must be a way to turn it programmatically in to a link hotspot useable in the notes client- I have it working for the web client w/ a computed field and pass thru html- but I also want to create the link for the notes client. Seems a tad old fashioned to cut and paste the link to the browser.

A valid URL in a rich text field automatically becomes a link, no programming required. A link hotspot can use a formula for the URL, so if you have a URL in a text field you can use the URL in a hotspot.

I want the link to work in the Notes client- I want it to open up the default browser and go to it. The rich text link works on the web client.

It will in both scenarios I posted.

passthru html also works in the notes client, provided you use computed text rather than a field.

Thanks again Andre- computed text worked w/ pass thru html- the regular RT field does not do it- at least not in 7.0.2

Actually it does, but it is a Notes client preference that can be turned on and off - yours might be off.

Make Internet URLs (http://…) into Hotspots.

It does in MY copy of 7.0.2 – provided that you don’t turn off the default conversion config in your user prefs. Add a complete URL as ordinary inline text to a rich text field, and it automatically becomes a link, no programming or hotspot required.
