Never mind, I stand corrected. This will work in the client tool but I cannot get it to run in Chrome or IE10 for the life of me. IE10 does nothing. Chrome opens up a blank window. All browser settings have been reset back to stock and pop up blockers are completely off.

Looks like the “file://” did the trick. I had forgotten that was an option for browsers. Now my battle is for the file location folder permissions as I tried it on a publicly accessible network directory/file and was able to open it, but not my original document.

When I click on the button, nothing happens. The AL does fire, according to the logs. If I change the OPEN-URL to http://www.msn.com, it works. The button opens up MSN in a new browser window.

Have you run logs, what do they show.

I have used this in the past and it worked but now I cannot get it to open a URL unless it’s an external website. If I try to open an internal link, the link appears to do nothing. Essentially, I am trying to achieve a link to a dynamic document repository. If there’s another way to do it, then I am all ears. I’ve tried multiple browsers but with the same results.
