Hyperlink from field labels

I have over 30 fields in my table. I want to create a hyperlink from some of the field labels in the search page to give a user a definition of what the field labes are. How would I do that? I appreciate your help.

This is what the notes field is for in the Internal Table Manager. You can place the text directly there, or I suppose, place a link in that area. Obviously, the later would require that you create a page to link to.

The field is the "Hint" one.

Eugenio,

I put comment on the 'Hint' field, but the comment did not appear. Is the 'Hint' field available only for insert/update mode and not search mode? I need the hint to give instructions for searching the database.

Yes it is available only for insert/update.

To make it available also in the search form should be enough to delete the if statement from this peace of code:

if ($form_type == "insert" or $form_type == "update" or $form_type == "ext_update"){
$form .= "<td class=\"td_hint_form\">".$fields_labels_ar[$i]["hint_insert_field"]."</td>"; // display the insert hint if it's the insert form
} // end if

line 608 in /include/business_logic.php
