Does anyone know why my $$ return field fail to return the correct url when I use double square “[” bracket. When the a single bracket is used the return is correct.
Is the a rule when double bracket can be used?
The following line is what is in my $$return field:-
“[[”+ DirectoryPath+“IELS.nsf/user+confirmation?openform&MessageTitle=Work Plan Submission Successful&Message=Your Work Plan has been submitted to your mentor.]]”
Thanks in advance

I think your problem is that space is not a legal character to use in a URL. Read about @URLEncode in the help. I think IE may be a little more tolerant of illegal characters and mak some substitution for you, whereas Domino requires the URL to contain only valid characters when it fetches the page internally.

Thank you on your thoughts. I tried several things following your suggestions but not one brought the intended result.
As a last resort I keyed in [[http://www.yahoo.com]] just to see if it work. Instead the browser returned me a print out “”[[http://www.yahoo.com]]“”.
I am beginning to suspect it could be database or form corruption as the double-bracket work in another database. I did a fixup and updall but the problem persisted.
Any thoughts?

Form corruption is not your problem. You don’t give your exact new formula, but it sounds like it includes some extra characters that’s making the Domino server not recognize it as a URL.
