Hyperlink Changes to sometihng other than my hyperlink

[mshaynerush]

I can't figure out what is happening.

Here is the link I assigned to my variable:

"https://subdomain.actualwebstite.com/partner/project/" & txtEsProjNum
where txtEsProjNum contains code to extract the last 4 digits of a longer project number

My problem is, once you log in to this website, you can directly copy that URL and it takes you to your project without having to log in. If you click my link from my form, it opens this link instead:

https://subdomain.actualwebsite.com/optix/?next=/partner/project/6155/

This means my project number is 6155. but this link ads "/optix/?next=" and that's nowhere in my code. AT ALL. So what is going on here?

thank you.

Websites often redirect. They may have changed the structure of their site and instead of giving you an error page, it's sending you to the correct place.
