I want to be able to put a fillable field on my page which links to another page. The link will be dependent on the input into the field. For example, entering a coupon code will take you to the printable coupon.
How do I do this?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Bethal,

This could be done best by using a database. In this database, there should be a table containing the coupon codes and which printable coupon belongs to each code.
When someone fills in the coupon code and submits the form, you redirect the page to a new page, passing the Form Parameter. With this Form Parameter, you filter a recordset to get the Printable Coupon.

Kind regards, Patrick
