Thanks for your answer but how do I open the link in the database for that particular story I tried this on a txt box category>news>link but all I get is the link and not the rest of the story.

If I understand your question currently:

You need another text box with "category>news>description" to see the details for a given headline

In addition, you can also create an event to open a browser window from your category>news>link box to take you directly to the corresponding webpage. The url field for the browser window should be %news>link%

Hope it helps
