Error opening tif file with Hyperlink

marco.morreale

I need to open some files from Navision

I use the HYPERLINK statement as follows:

HYPERLINK('file://C:/mygiffile.gif');

No problem with pdf, gif, jpeg and others.

But when I try with tif files, as follows:

HYPERLINK('file://C:/mytiffile.tif');

I get the error:

"C/SIDE hyperlinking failed.
You tried to hyperlink to this target:
[url=file://C:/mytiffile.tif]file://C:/mytiffile.tif[/url]
Do you want to place the hyperlink target on the clipboard?"

I also need to open ".dwg" (autocad) files with a autocad viewer.

Thanks in advance.

Is the extension correctly registered in Windows?
MS Office Imaging is commig up on my machine if I try to open .TIF with hyperlink.

Yes, it is.

If I type "file://C:/mytiffile.tif" in my browser address bar it opens correclty.

Ok, I got the message you have described, if the path is misspeled. Check the path

I searched the forum but I experience different behavior than

The same statement gets me the error reported before.

I will go on searching the forum, anyway.

Thanks

I suggest to use Automation instead of function HYPERLINK()

ShellExt Automation 'Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation'.Shell

and then enough to write few lines of code


CREATE(ShellExt);
ShellExt.Open("File Name");
CLEAR(ShellExt);

Great solution!
Thank you, Gandrius
