OpenURL & IWP giving me a hard time!!!

[sifter]

OK, I am trying to have IWP open a folder on my intranet. The path that I specify works fine when I click the link in Filemaker. In IWP it does not.

This is the path specified to open...

"file://gpengineeringengineeringWorkingDocumentsPrototypeTonyT008029394SP"

It works in Filemaker. It opens up the folder "gpengineeringengineeringWorkingDocumentsPrototypeTonyT008029394SP" in windows explorer.

In IWP it changes the URL and tries to open

"http://file////gp-engineering/engineering/WorkingDocuments/Prototype/TonyT/008029394SP"

Is there a way to get this to work?

Make a container field, and import the document you want to open.

Make a new field (calc) GetAsText(container) result text

Have a look at this path. If you post it I can help you further

I have the same problem when i used filemaker 7

this trouble doesn t appear with the lastest version of filemaker (fmp8).

this current line makes some problems with my web browser (mozilla or iexplorer): openurl : ftp://localhost/folder.."

in iwp it changes the url too and trie to open :

"http://ftp//localhost/folder...."

I use filemaker server advanced 7 for my iwp and the trouble is the same !
