I have a process where I detach a file into a directory on the server. (This directory is an offshoot of the the domino/data directory.)
I want to open that file directly from the web. I have tried multiple options but all fail:
file://server/path/test.pdf
When trying to open the file I always get an error, “Windows cannot find file…”. But I know it exists and the path is correct.
As a test I tried to open some standard files in the data directory, such as “text.gif”. I get the same error messages for this.
It seems that I can only open .nsf files via these methods. Everything else fails.
Is this a permissions problem? If so, how do I correct it?
I have a workaround where I re-attach the file to a new notes document. I can open that via the normal ?OpenElement url. But doing it this way takes a lot longer.
what can I do to open the file in place on the server???
Thank you,
Eric
