Hi there,

I've have created a database that includes links to pdf files. When i use the open URL script it works fine when i run it on my own laptop. However i need people at work to access the files. When i access the database via the web the Open URL buttons don't work (this is not a problem with active scripts as this is enables in IE). The script i use looks like this:

First Group Projects::File Path & "/" & "Definition-" & First Group Projects::ID & ".pdf"

It calculates which file to get as a result o other fields in the database i.e. if i am on the record for project 255 it will get the ID=255 and open Definition-255.pdf

Can anyboby help me out here? This works fine except on the web where it doesn't do anything. When i click on it it seems to try to load but just makes the page flash slightly.

Which version of Filemaker are you using, is that Script step supported?

Is the generated address a network address?

Good Luck.

Hi,

Cheers for the reply.

I'm using Filemaker 7 and it says that the script is web compatible. I had a look at the script and what it actually produces. It references the files on my PC (It's a work computer - i'd use a mac otherwise ) i.e. c:database......Mandate-205.pdf etc

It works fine in filemaker but not via the web.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers

The web would need it to produce a web address for example:

http://localhost/database/..../Mandate-205.pdf

All the best.
