You could use stringformat, point to the record buffer of your vendor datasource, and write it to the HTML control in the active() method of the datasource. That will refresh the control whenever a new row is selected.

strFmt('<a href=%1>Vendor URL</a>', VendTable.YourURLfield)

Well, if you insist on the more complicated way, you surely can provide HTML code for the HTML control. I see that Vilmos already gave you an example.

Check AOT > Forms > tutorial_Form_Controls, on the HTML tab you have a hyperlink. That is a HTML control, which they populate in the run method like this:

void run() { Html.setText( "<html><body>" + "<h3>The HTML Viewer/Editor</h3>" + "<p>The HTML Control can Show and Edit HTML text.<p>" + "<p>It supports images and <a href=www.microsoft.com/BusinessSolutions>hyperlinks</a>" + "</body></html>"); super(); }

Do I understand correctly that by "to display URL" you mean showing a hyperlink that users can click on?

Then why don't you simply use a button with Style = Link?
