Re: file:// link not working unless already signon to the share folder

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is this link being sent via a web browser?   Or via 5250?  Or.. how does 
this link get from the i to PC?

Can you use STRPCCMD to log on to the folder prior to sending the URL? 
Would that work in your scenario?

Alternately, can you change the URL to use HTTP instead of local file 
access?
