Don,
You need to URL encode the variable. I think there is a function to do that but I'm not 100% sure.

Convert spaces " " to "%20" (no quotes) in the <a href>. %20 is the URI
equivalent for space. If the visible name of the link is breaking across
lines, that can be solved by replacing spaces with " " non-breaking
space.

Real close now - but the document name breaks into several lines instead
of showing straight across. Otherwise, it works correctly

Your search results would look something like this:
Rec# Invoice Indentifcation
0004 <a href="J:\Aerofast Inc 10108 00128373.pdf">Badger Metals 10450
52499</a>
0109 <a href="J:\Inside Badger 13070 0038727-IN.pdf">Inside Badger
13070 0038727-IN</a>
You may need to escape the spaces in the file path.
Thanks,
Todd

OK, men, I got this far with code elimination - but what am I missing to
actually get the .pdf to show?
This is in the browser now - J:\Aerofast Inc 10108 00128373.pdf -
do I need to precede it with the adobe executable path?

I don't know if I am oversimplifying, but why not have each item in the
search results be a link to the corresponding PDF and eliminate the
"click here" screen?

[WEB400] ND Macro screen

I have this macro which ends up displaying a .pdf file. The search
index is on the System i. The users are not happy with the extra
"click" step
(anchor) which is now needed. Is there a way to eliminate that extra
step and go directly to the .pdf display?
1) There is a keyword search field entered
2) The System i index is searched and all "matches" are
displayed.
3) User clicks on the record # of the match for which they
want
to see the actual .pdf
4) Anchor screen comes up and user must click it again before
the
.pdf shows - this is what they want eliminated.
Example:
Rec# Invoice Identification
0004 Badger Metals 10450 52499.pdf
0109 Inside Badger 13070 0038727-IN.pdf
User then clicks on the one he wants ...
and this "extra" step comes up:
VIEW the A/P Invoice for ... Badger Metals 10450 52499.pdf <J:\Badger
Rubber Company 10450 52499.pdf> When above is clicked, the .pdf
appears.
