We recently launched our site built with Dotnetnuke.  It is a fantastic product with many features.  We've only scratched the surface.

We are however experiencing a writer's block.  We have a display or a listing of courses which we pull from a asp/sql database.  Although the data is completely visible and workks well, our programmer cannot seem to be able to link the course listings to their respective course outlines.  Would anyone out there be able to assist us with this challenge?

I understand the "writer's block" thing. Hey, it happens to all of us sometimes. It happens to me all the time.

What you need to do is in your SQL Select statement which returns your course listings you need to format the Course Name to output as a HTML hyperlink to the respective outline. It is a little tedious in some cases with the concatentation to build HTML hyperlink, but relatively easy to do.

Sort of like this: '<a target=_blank href=' + [URL_to_course_outline] + '>' + [CourseName] + '</a>'

Good luck!
