Hi @WillSG

I took this URL which works in the browser

https://miamidade.realforeclose.com/index.cfm?zaction=user&zmethod=calendar&selCalDate=%7Bts%20%272016-5-01%2000%3A00%3A00%27%7D

And  did a Replace % with %’%’% to arrive at

Hi @Steve48 , I hope you are doing well

I was not able to open those URLs (at tleast they didn’t work on my compuiter, however,
I was looking at the variables that you are defining and maybe, this is the reason why they are not working OR Chrome is changing the output.

To include a percentage sign (%) within a variable or string, use double percentage signs around it and an apostrophe, like %''%. This ensures proper handling and avoids potential errors in your code or scripting environment.

As a result, the variable %StartingYearMonthPart2% should be as follow:

01%’%’%2000%’%’%3A00%’%’%3A00%’%’%27%’%’%7D

The same will happen with the URL if it contains Percentage sign %, you will have to use the same approach to avoid issues when using Chrome.

Hope this helps,

Hi @CristinaValdes & @Nived_Nambiar I'm not sure what you (Cristina) mean by putting the url in a variable and then put the variable in Chrome. I think I am already doing that

In response to your previous suggestion about escaping, i hardcoded the parts of the URL that are constant, escaping the % signs which resulted in this url which works if i paste it into the browser.

https://miamidade.realforeclose.com/index.cfm?zaction=user&zmethod=calendar&selCalDate=%7Bts%20%272016-5-01%2000%3A00%3A00%27%7D

The url in the browser after Chrome Launch  that didnt work is this:

https://miamidade.realforeclose.com/index.cfm?zaction=user&zmethod=calendar&selCalDate={ts%20%272016-5-01%2000%3A00%3A00%27}

It seems to be having a problem with the %7Bts at the beginning of the last part and the 7D at the end

Hi @Nived_Nambiar I am only constructing one URL. When the browser is launched with this URL I get an error page. However if I copy the value of the URL variable and paste it into the browser, it works. Apparently PAD is not able to interpret the URL string correctly, maybe because of the % signs. I made a short video which demonstrates the problem
