You almost have it... you don't need the first and last &, so what you're
really looking for is:

  theLink & "/" & subID

which will give you

  http://www.google.com/44568

So to pass that to 'get URL' you just do:

  get URL(theLink & "/" & subID)

The "&" is a concatenation operator, so have an "&" at the beginning of the
string confuses Rev, and the one at the end is unnecessary.

Hope this helps,
