Link
The database field Link is used to store a hypertext link to a file, folder, or url. You may want to use this field to link TrackPro to a calibration item data file or perhaps to a file detailing a maintenance procedure. Information regarding the link is available in the form View. The link can be:
- entered directly using the keyboard,
- selected from the common file dialog after pressing the "Add Link" Command button, or
- by dragging and dropping a file on to the grid.
After entering a link just click the entry (blue underlined text) to open the file. The field may contain up to 255 alphanumeric characters.

Tip: Enter a folder address such as c:\instruments\calipers\item234. When you right-click the link a Windows Explorer Window will open and display all the files in the folder. |

Note: You must click the "Edit" command button prior to creating a link. To open the link you must not be in the "Edit" mode. |
