We are using MAS 200 4.3. I would like to add a hyperlink to my inventory inquiry module that will link to a webpage where the web address will contain the mas item number, like so "http://www.foo.com/item/[MasItemNumber]".

Can anyone tell me how this can be done?

One way is like this:

1. Press Ctrl-F9 in Inv Inquiry, choose the user-company, choose the panel to modify

2.Click on Add External Link button (top left one) in the floating Customizer toolbar

3. Draw the button to bring up the External Link Definition dialog.

4. Click on Link Settings tab

5. Under Type click on radio button for Program

6. Click on Edit Script button off to the right.

7. Paste this in the command script:

[wdx]http://www.foo.com/item/{ML_ITEM_NO$}

8. Click OK, exit out and save. Close Inv Inquiry if it was open and open it again.

9. Click your Link button and it should pop a new browser window

You can also do it through an MS Script. Hope that helps.

When I try to accept the script it says "The DDE Application mustn be entered".

What do I need to do?

Don't forget that you need to select the Item Number variable to be able to use it in the script. My suggestion would be to try it as a Script rather than a Program.

I added the button like you said but when I bring up Inventory Inquiry it's grayed out and I can't click it.

Do a search on "Dive Deep". It will return a post of videos about Custom Office that will show you how to add a button to an existing panel.

i thought that might be interesting to see.

however, a search of "dive deep" on the MAS90 forum yields only your post above

Try searching for "deep dive" instead:
