Hi Michel,
You can store the URL's in a fox table. When the search is performed, those links, which are just strings to VFP, can be used as the basis for HTML that is rendered back to the client. Once in those browsers, those links can then be the targets of hyper links. You have two basic options at your disposal. One is to use West Wind Web Connection. The other is to use Active Scripting (ASP).
