Hyperlink to external documents from a singe webi document.

Hi,

I have a webi 6.5 report with multiple hyperlinks which should point to the different documents(that SHOULD NOT be in repository).
Those documents are both agnostic documents as well as .wid documents.
Is it possible to open all those reports from a single webi report?
What could be the syntax if I want to open the reports from a shared network drive?

="<a href=…">[open]"…

Kindly suggest.

Regards,
Alok

You want to open a bunch of separate windows with one click? There was a discussion here with a suggestion.

Best solution is to put the files in a virtual directory; but I’m assuming that’s not possible in your case and that’s why you’re asking the question.

You can build an A HREF link to a UNC path quite easily:

<a href=file://///myserver/myshare/myfile.pdf>clickme</a>

Since the file is being opened by the client, the client needs to have sufficient rights to access the share.

Many thanks Joe.

I’ll have a bunch of different links in the parent report that each call a different child and All the child reports should be at one shared place.
