Create a button to activate a script or macro along the following lines:
Macro: use the Open command and substitute the field contents in the parameter by enclosing tablename.fieldname in double angle brackets. Eg:
Open 'http://'<<Customers.URL>>
This apparently doesn't work in properly in v97.
Script: use shell rundll32.exe to invoke the http protocol handler. Say the object name of the fieldbox containing the url is fbxURL
Dim intRtn As Integer intRtn = Shell("rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://" & CurrentView.Body.fbxURL.Text)
See article 'Example LotusScript: A button activated script that launches URL contained in a text field' for more details.
