Hi, I have very simple report with

Member ID and Document ID.  Each member has a document in PDF some thing written in it.
I need to add that dodument as a URL link for each member. 

so I tried to create a sample report adding with Hyperlink object and provided URL path but when I run the report it is not showing any links. not sure why

Can I get any help

Thanks

Hi,

How is the hyperlink url linked to the member is it in the same query? Also you might want to see your text source of your hyperlink.

Just try a simple example drag a new hyperlink in text source enter google and url enter path http://www.google.com when you run the report the hyperlink should show up.

Coming to linking your hyperlink to a member in a query. create a data item with following 'http://<localurl address>'+[Member] so when the report runs you should see member id 123 and link path as http://...../member123.

Thanks,
RK

Yes, you need one other data item to drive the column for the list report.
