I have done it like this:
|;
if ($rec{'Whatever_Field'} ne "") {print qq|
$rec{'Whatever_Field'}
|;}
print qq|
|;
if ($rec{'Whatever_Field'} ne "") {print qq|
$rec{'Whatever_Field'}
|;}
print qq|

There's plenty of ways to write the same thing in Perl, but I prefer the "positive" approach:
if ($rec{'FieldName'}) {
print qq|whatever|;
}

if ($rec{'FieldName'}) {
print qq|whatever|;
}

This is in html_record, which is where you are printing out the display of the record information.
Be sure to start with a
|;
to close off the previous print qq| statement and end with a
print qq|
to continue printing the display of information.

Ok.JPD
I did as you said but it does not work
I did couple changes to view
so the "company" field is (if link exist)underline (http://)link but it doesn't
work and if there is no link by pointing at
database you'l see http:///
meaning that link exist
the file is at

Try looking at the response I wrote today at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/forum/resources/Forum12/HTML/000230.html
I thought of a new way to check the field and there is a very complete tutorial on how to set it up. If you have more questions on it, answer on that thread, please, so they're all together.
