Hi, based on this link

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/feature-limitations-of-the-microsoft-dynamics-nav-web-client

it says that recordlinks support access to resources on file shares but when i tried to click on a file link inside the Link window in my PO, nothing happens.
Does anyone knows why or what I have to do?

    Hi,

    I've just tested and it doesn't work either with the web client. Then, reading in more detail:

    "RecordLinks only supports access to URLs and resources on file shares; files that are stored locally on the user's computer cannot be accessed."

    It only works with urls....


    I've tried this also:
    file:///C:/temp/testfile.csv

    but it won't work.

    That is sad...I thought I can finally use the web client to access my file shares after seeing this KB.
