url button from text field

i have a text field in my access database FORM that contains a url:

http://www.domain.com

and i have created a button that i wish to use to initiate this url,

when the button is clicked it loads opens a new web page determined by what is written in the 'domain' text field.

can anybody tell me how i can link this button the the field, i cannot figure this out!

i have the same for an email field and an e-mail button, i assume it will work on the same principle,

thanks for the help,

Alex

you have to specify which scripting language (i.e. asp, php, perl, ...etc) to use. other wise no one will show u how to do.

basic guidelines :-
1) specify a name for the text box.
- when the user click the button, it will submit the value to your server side page(i.e. asp, php, jsp, cgi... etc).
2) Server side page grab the string you passed from previous form.
3) insert into the "URL" string, and it will display what u want.

email
