Good hump day everyone. I have a question that will make me look stupid for asking, but I need to ask. I have a report that previously connected to a sub report through Text Box Properties>Action>Go to report. Business wanted the sub report to open in a new window, so now the sub report link is through Go to URL, with the code "void(window.open('website.com',' _blank'). It works great. But when you hover the cursor/mouse over the link, the arrow doesn't turn into a pointing hand image, it just becomes the thing that looks like a capitol "I" (with serifs) that appears when typing text. Sorry, I don't know that technical way to describe these things. Anyway, I thought it was something the business would just get used to, but they want to pointing hand. I'm not even sure how to google this, so I'm hoping someone reads this and knows what I talking about and can help. Thank you. Amy

If its any consolation, I do know what you are talking about. Unfortunately I've been trying to reproduce it and I can't. Mine has the cursor with the finger pointing - it's called the link select pointer. The other one that looks like an I is text select. Didn't know that either - just look them up in the pointers for my mouse settings.
Did you try just using a simple or blank report, add a text box and then set the properties, action, url and then the javascript expression to open a new window?
It's like yours is seeing it as text and not a URL. Did you double check the action, Go To URL and check the expression? And in that window does the top, above the expression, say Set Expression for: Hyperlink

Thank you for replying, Sue. I have really wasted the whole day on this. On the plus side, I've learned a bit about javascript and style sheets. I have managed to add the select pointer to a link using Cursor: Pointer. But only one link at a time. I then try to find the parent, but get lost pretty quickly. I want to just quit and tell the business to get used to the text select (thanks for the jargon!) but I just can't.
