Anyone have a way to add a URL/link or button to Lawson report output? We are looking to provide the ability for payment reviewers to run AP150 in non-update and then view the actual invoice images from our images server, while looking through the AP150 output online. Does it require generating the report in a different output format in order for a URL to work? The standard text outputs allow for drill around, but we're trying to figure out how to do something similar only point to a URL instead instead of drilling around. Can this be done? Thoughts/suggestions? Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is to create an XML version of the report and use it as the data source in Crystal and then add the function to your Crystal report. I'm not a Crystal expert so couldn't tell you how to create the URL function.

If you want each report to generate the link every time youll have to modify the actual cobol program. Aside from that David suggestion would be the only other way.
If any of my answers were helpful an endorsement on LinkedIn would be much appriciated! www.linkedin.com/pub/matthew-nye/1a/886/760/

We are looking to do the exact same thing. Did you find a solution?
