Re: rendering the # character in a Mac Open URL Script Step

I'm using the Open URL Script Step to build a URL.based on a field
value

The base of the URL contains the # character, eg. "http://
xmap.picr.man.ac.uk/#"

Unfortunately, althogth the URL builds nicely on a PC, on an Mac the #
character is rendered as %23... and, of course, this is not correctly
interpreted by the browser.

Any tips on how I can force the Mac to build the URL with the # and
not make it into %23



Gareth,

just a possible thought - fill a global (text) with "#" and composee the URL
from a calc whose last character is that global.

*Maybe* this helps.
