Hi Jac,

You should be able to use a script similar to this one on the onRender method of your data field object :

""
var myaction = this.createAction();
myaction.setHyperlink("http://www.actuate.com","_blank");
this.action = myaction;
""

If the link where you want to go is the data you get from the database, you should be able to replace the :

"http://www.actuate.com"

by

this.getValue()

If you want to create a link to another report you will have either to ensure that the URL you use is correct or you will have to use the Drill-Through hyperlink type available when you select the properties of your data field.
