I am using Filemaker Pro 7 on a Mac running OS 10.3.9, and I'm still in
the learning stage.

Might anyone know whether it's possible to insert a hyperlink within a
text field that would simply go to an anchor within the same text field
or perhaps elsewhere within the same record? This would not be
something done in layout mode and applying to all the records within a
file, but rather, it would be done during data entry in browse mode and
would apply only to the individual record.

Thanks very much.

Afraid your out of luck on that one.

No reason you couldn't build most of it yourself. Be a bit of work, but
no reason you couldn't overlay the field with a button that parsed the
text field for the 'hyperlink' and moved the cursor to the 'anchor'.

One issue is that you might be limited to one hyperlink per text field.
I'm not sure if there is any to capture which one of multiple hyperlinks
to use. (You'd basically have to capture mouse position, and determine
what text was under it... you'd almost certainly need a plugin for
that.)

Thanks very much, FP and 42. It's something I'd want to do be able to
do quickly and repeatedly, with multiple hyperlinks. So I guess I am
out of luck. It seems like a simple thing, though, to be built into the
program. I'm surprised it's not already there.
