I am indeed opening the files on a network share with
file://UNC_path
Thanks for your suggestion – I’ll see if I can get that to work.
In the interim I put in a work around where I am pulling the reports into an
attachment field and my users have 2 additional clicks to get to the file. No
complaints so far!
Thanks,
Sharon

Are you opening files on a UNC path (network share) with
file://UNC_path?
If they are files on a share most likely you'll need to put a web server in
from of them and serve them up via http. Depending on where the files are
stored you could simply include that directory and publish them via the web
server.
For example we use ARInside. Our ARInside files are stored on one server and we
have Apache web server (httpd) on a different server serving up the ARInside
pages via UNC to the other server. I am not sure if this is something ISS can
do as well.

Hi All,
I understand from a previous post to the list, that the reason the
PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL new "file:..." functionality no longer works in Chrome
is because of security changes, and that it is likely to stop working in IE
soon once we are up to date with patches. I have many many excel reports that
have been made available in Remedy using this functionality so I need to figure
out another way to get the excel files to open in the web environment.
I am running ARS 9.1.3 with custom apps on an SQL backend.
What can I use instead of PERFORM-ACTION-OPEN-URL new "file:..."?
Thanks,
Sharon
