Convert it to a pushbutton and forget the hotspot solution. I gave up on hotspots a long time ago because users never could agree on what they wanted checkboxed and what they didn't want checkboxed. Here is an application that uses pushbuttons:

Another solution is to make it an input/output field (protected) and use:

**

*RTNCSRLOC(&RECNAME &FLDNAME) RECNAME 10A H FLDNAME 10A H***

As a bonus, either solution allows the URL to be a variable so that a URL change does not mean a recompile yet the user sees a meaningful phrase. Like "Web Info" or "Home" or "Some Useful Phrase."

Hi All,

We are using ACS for displaying a regular green screen.

On the screen for customer info we are displaying the customer web site address making it a hotspot.
This website can sometimes be VERY long.

Is there a way to display something like CompanyWebsite.Com (making it a hotspot) but when the user clicks it the real hidden site actually gets used?

Thanks!!
