URL from button based on value of field

I know there are topics similar and I am not a coder but still learning.
I am trying to setup a button in AR Invoice Entry that opens a URL based on a UD field value.
I’ve added the UD field to the customer table and added a custom data view on the form but i’m unsure how to call the field from the data view.

Lesson 1: Rename your button to something other than epiButton1 (you’ll regret it later if you dont

To get a hold of a customer value you can use an EpiDataView

var myDv = oTrans.Factory("Customer");//Assuming Customer is the name of your Customer DataView
string url=(string) myDv.dataView[myDv.Row]["CustPortal_c"];
Process.Start("https://" + url);

That’s awesome, thank you Jose! It is indeed called Customer.
I knew i was missing something simple. This is super helpful and something I can use in other cases.
