Link representation problem when data includes a comma

We're using a Link Representation expression field to launch a PDF based on CustomerName & InvoiceNo from a specified folder. It seems to be working for all customers except for those who have a comma in their company name, in which case the URL shows "%2C" in place of the comma. Any recommendations for coding around this?

You'll need to use several "replace" functions to eliminate commas, spaces and other special characters, that don't work in the URL syntax.

Where would you use those?  I also have an URL that I would like to open, but it has three commas in the syntax.

I can correctly show the link in the chart that will open it, and I can display the link as a expression by representing in as a hyperlink, not as a text field, but how do I intercept the URL function? 

QV can open the correct URL when I call the URL from a button, but not from an expression.
