You can use a data source for a value for a hyperlink control. Add a field to your data source (or in a secondary data source, like an xml file) and set a calculated default. The formula would look something like:

concat("https://ourhomepage.com/ticket/", ticketField)

Select the field that the user enters the ticket number into for the underlined bit that says "ticketField". This will concatenate the URL for the hyperlink control with a value from the form.

Sorry...

1. A user starts a browser-enabled Infopath form.
2. They are asked to enter a ticket number into a text box field.   Lets say the user enters "234"
3. Next to that form is a button or hyperlink that opens up a webpage that uses the value 234 in the URL.
                           i.e.     https://our homepage.com/ticket/234

to reiterate... the 234 is concatenating to the hyperlink which is calling a specific "ticket" or order or whatever... . in our system

hope this clarifies. thanks for the quick response.

So, this is an InfoPath form that the user enters '234' in? Or the IP form is to opened from the link? I'm confused....

This may be way beyond me, but I've been tasked with creating a link in a form that opens an internal HTML site based on information a user enters in a text box.

i.e.

User X enters "234" in the text box labeled Ticket #.

Below that is an image or button that the user hits which pulls up a internal website... Ticket #234

https://our homepage.com/ticket/234
