InfoPath Dev

Hi guys,

I would like to create a hyperlink in Infopath form that refer to file in user local drive.

In view1.xsl, I've added:

<a href="C:\test.txt" target="_blank" xd:disableEditing="yes">link to local drive</a>

<a href="C:/test.txt" target="_blank" xd:disableEditing="yes">link to local drive</a>

<a href="file:///C:/test.txt" target="_blank" xd:disableEditing="yes">link to local drive</a>

None of them working. It's not even opening a new IE window.

Any suggestion for creating a hyperlink to open file in local drive.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Hi trimba,
Patrick gave some suggestion, did you try it and is it working?

Hello trimba,
There are two ways to achieve this:
One way is add the following in view1.xsl and preview the form. Click on the link, then it will open "text.txt" in a new IE window.

<a href="\\machine name\C$\test.txt" target="_blank" xd:disableEditing="yes">link to local drive</a>

Another way is, in design mode, click on Hyperlink in the controls task pane. There by giving the link "\\machine name\C$\test.txt" in Address field, you will be able to open it in a new IE window.

Hope this helps!
