I read the FAQ item on what line to add, but where is "html_record"? What file, and where?

"html_record" is a subroutine within the html.pl file. You need to have defined your own display of records (which is what the html_record subroutine is for) in order to add the line. In other words, you cannot be using the autogenerate feature.
If you are using the autogenerate feature, I think I posted something about that just the other day. I'll see if I can find where it is and post it here. If there's nothing below this except my initials, I didn't find it.
I found it!

Thanks, but I need to have autogenerate on. I tried that code you said to replace in the other thread, but it gives me an error when I try to load it. Is there anything else I can do?

What sort of error does it give you? I checked the code and there are no syntax errors in it. Are you sure you replaced the entire subroutine, from the title --
sub build_html_record
through the last } just before
sub build_html_record_form
This is the only way to get clickable links without building your own html_record subroutine.

I did, and have a couple of times to make sure that I did it right. I keep getting this error:
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, admin@gamenation.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Can you make your db.cgi script available? Copy it to a directory where you would normally put html files and rename it to db_cgi.txt. Then let me know where to find it and I'll see if I can find the error.

Thanks for looking at this. I'm sure it's something stupid I overlooked...

Also, I know that the lines are all togther, that's because I copied it directly from the message you posted. I tried to separate the lines exactly as they were shown, but still got the same message.

There are two problems with your db.cgi script. One is that you have a line of ---s before sub build_html_record. You need to take out that line.
The other problem is that the entire sub build_html_record is on one line. You need to break it up into the lines like are on the other thread where the subroutine is. A lot of times perl scripts can be on one line and there's not a problem. However, this one has comment lines, and anything after a # is considered a comment, so most of your subroutine isn't being read by the script.
If you keep the formatting as it is in the subroutine I posted, you'll be just fine.
