Hi Soma,
I’m not really sure I follow you, but I’ll try to give an answer. Bear in mind that you’ve posted in the ND6 forum and that while you’re using ND5.0.11, I’m not, so the menus may be different.
To create a hotspot, highlight the text that you want to turn into a hotspot and then click on the menu,
Create, Hotspot, Action Hotspot.
If you’re lucky,the bottom half of the screen will change to show a formula window. If you’ve already clicked off the item, then you will need to click back on the item and select from the menu, Hotspot, Edit Hotspot.
In the edit window, you can just type your code. Make sure that it says Formula.
eg:
@Prompt([OK];“Test”;“Hello World”)
You will think that the code won’t work, but really it only doesn’t work because you are in edit mode.
Try switching to read mode (save and Ctrl+E) and clicking your hotspot… it should work.
I find that an easy way to test hotspot formulae is to write them in a mail memo and send them to myself. Of course, this only works if they dont directly access fields in your database.
I hope this is what you’re after.
BTW: If you’re after HTML Links, then the Edit formulae bit is a tiny button on the properties box.
Gavin.

What do you do if you are not lucky! The programmers pane will not pop up! I am using R7.0.1
It woulds in mail not is this database.
Update: If you try to create/edit a hotspot action while it is in a frameset you will not get the programmers pane. You must do it from a view.
