RE: Client Access URL Hotspot and files

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Andy,

The question is where does it throw it into Windows, or does it preprocess
it first?  My prime example is the like directly to a member.  First of
all, to get this to work within email and a browser I had to configure
something (I'd have to look in the archives).  But this link won't work
from green screen.

Robin,

I'm sometimes fuzzy on Windows issues but it strikes me that all that
client access can do is make the URL available to your personal
computer.  It sounds as though client access has done this successfully.
Clicking on the URL throws you entirely under the control of Windows and
CA is out of the picture.

I'm certainly willing to be contradicted on this, but it makes sense to
me to look in the Microsoft arena for resolution.
