    Dynamically generated links not working properly

    I have a report that generates links to external web pages by concatenating a base URL with a species ID. The species ID is stored in the data table, and the URL is built with the on-click event of a button.



    Example:
    Code:
    Private Sub ecosButton_Click()
    Code:
    If IsNull(Me.ECOScode) Then
        MsgBox ("Sorry, there isn't currently a species profile for " & CommonName & "."), vbOKOnly, "Warning!"
    Else
        txtURL = "http://ecos.fws.gov/speciesProfile/profile/speciesProfile.action?spcode=" & Me.ECOScode
        DoCmd.Hourglass True
        FollowHyperlink txtURL
        DoCmd.Hourglass False
    End If
    End Sub
    

    All of a sudden when I click a link it creates a URL for the FIRST SPECIES IN THE REPORT as opposed to the species that I actually selected. I'm not sure what's causing this problem as it worked perfectly before. I'm trying to attach the database, but I can't seem to get it under the 2mb size limit (I'm sitting at 2.11), and 7-zip files are not supported.

    Any suggestions?

    Have you done a Compact and Repair before zipping?

    Compact and repair did it... I cut out all the excess unrelated to this specific problem.

    Which Form or Report gives you the problem?

    Working from the Navigation switchboard, all of the reports have the problem except ​for the LCC report.

    So far they all seem to be working as I would expect.

    Hmmm... very strange. No matter which link I choose, only the code from the first record in the report is used link to an external page. If you say it's working, and I haven't changed anything then there's not much I can do.

    Thanks,
    Roy

    Okay, I see the problem. How did you expect the ECOScode in the Header to reflect the ECOScode of the current record in the Detail section of the Report?

    OK, I thought that I just had to have the code on the form somewhere, didn't realize it had to be within the details section specifically. That makes sense!

    Thanks,
    Roy

    Easy to set it invisible and hide it behind another control in the Detail section.

    Glad you resolved the issue, I started poking around on it before realizing it has been resolved. Just wanted to give you a thumbs up on the form work. Looks nice. As soon as I saw that, I thought of 100 uses for a wildlife application, hunting/fishing seasons, Tag information, etc etc etc.
