I have 3 dyanmic text boxes as variables.  
textbox1: var1=http://www.amazon.com  
textbox2: var2=/cgi-bin/filedb?openform  
textbox3: “\<A HREF” + var1 + var2 + “\>” clickhere “\</A\>”  
"A HREF + var1 + var2 + " " clickhere “/A” (just  
incase if you don’t see html tag)

In the browser, I see clickhere, when i click, its taking me to  
http"//+var1+var2.  
p.s: I declared only textbox3 as HTML (in panel, textoptions, checked HTML only for textbox3)

Please help.

textbox3: “clickhere”

i think the board mangled your post, but it looks like you have var1+var2 enclosed in quotes, so they’re being interpreted literally - which is not what you want.

the above should work.
