Re: Creating a link to a network file from a Calendar database?

Ah, I escaped that issue here because none of the users are the owner -- 
it's a shared calendar...

Glad you figured it out.

Re: Creating a link to a network file from a Calendar database?






After contacting IBM support, I found out that the reason I wasn't able to 

click on the hotspots is that I was the owner, and as such, the document 
gets opened automatically in Edit mode.  Hotspots are not functional while 

in Edit mode.  According to IBM, it is "working as designed."  A simple 
work around is to use the CTL E function to toggle between Edit and Read 
mode. 

The support rep did say that there is an enhancement request being 
processed for this issue.

Thanks for your help....

I'm doing it programatically here, but that should not make much 
difference.

When you hover over it, does the path to the link show up in the status 
bar?
You say that you can't click on it -- it's not clickable at all, not even 
to return an error?

Have you tried using that text in a link created via Create - Hotspot - 
Link Hotspot?  Or only the automatically-created hotspots?

That is correct, we do not want to create an attachment - just a link.

I have entered the link as described, and when I call up the reminder it 
is underlined in green and the Hotspot menu option is displayed, so I 
think it is recognizing it as a Hotspot.  However, I can't click on it. 
What am I missing?

I don't think the request was for a file attachment in the Notes document, 




but a link to a file on the network.  If that's the case, we are doing 
that by creating a link in the format of 
"file://c:\FolderName\FileName.ext"

It's entered in the same manner that you can set up a web link in the 
format "http://www.lotus.com";

Hope that helps,
Patrick

Yes.  I just tried it.  In the descriptive part of the reminder, click on
the attach file icon or File --> Attach.

Hello group,

I am new to Domino development, so this may be a silly question....

I have a Calendar database.  When entering a new Reminder, we would like
to be able to enter a link to a file path and name (usually a Word doc
that exists on our network).  Therefore, when the Reminder is opened, we
can simply click on the file, and the file will be opened (in it's native
app - Word, Excel, etc, if possible).  Is this do-able?  If so, could
someone point me in the right direction?
