HYPERLINK instead of SHELL

mfabian

You can open a WinWord-Document within Navision with the SHELL-statement such as ..

SHELL ('C:\Office\WinWord.EXE \Documents\Navision\MyDocument.doc);

But you can achieve the same with the Hyperlink statement:

hyperlink('D:\Documents\Navision\MyDocument.doc');

Of course this works with all registered document types:
hyperlink('MySheet.xls'); --> opens Excel
hyperlink('MyDok.pdf'); --> opens Acrobat

When you use a file from a server you must use Hyperlink statement in this mode:
HYPERLINK('file:\\ServerName\Documents\Navision\MyDocument.doc');
