Sesame and Hyperlinks

Hello Gang. It's been a long time since I've posted. Been busy chugging along with Sesame for the past few years and still enjoying it.

In our office, we 'live' in Outlook. Almost all of our communication starts from an email and contains an 'order number' that we need to look up in Sesame. I would like to find a way to retrieve sesame records as easily as we would click a hyperlink in an email message to open a web page.

Did I see a new programming statement that can 'get from windows clipboard' in the new manual? Can't seem to find it now.

Thanks for any input.
Steve

Are you thinking of @GetSelectionContents()?

I can't confirm because I can't find @GetSelectionContents() in my 2.0 programming manual.  Undecided

It should be in the addendum document for 2.1 forward. It is also listed in the List Browser. It returns a string representing the contents of the selection/copy buffer for your desktop.

That sounds like the one. Is there a better method of steering the user from a windows program like Outlook, into a specific record in Sesame without much user interaction?

You may be able to come up with a creative use of ODBC.

You could launch Sesame with a macro/SBasic that performs the search. In the case of using SBasic, using the selection buffer would probably be handy.
