Application folder Hyperlinks not working in Active Forms

Post by jed »

Something in active forms is causing my hyperlinks to application folder items to not respond.

I have an active form with a number of application folder items listed on rows and a hyperlink to them where the reference is stored as an attribute.

The hyperlink follows the standard syntax:
"TM1://TM1DEVSERVER/blob/PUBLIC/.\}Externals\PPE.xls_200912010524.xls"

The strange thing is that the link for first row item of the active form works but subsequent items attempt to load the file but nothing happens and no error message is displayed. Yet when I republish the report as static items (not as an active form) all of the links work. The link is exactly the same in both versions of the report always referencing the attribute to determine the link.

Has anyone any idea what causes this and how to get around it?

cheers

I always like to try and get at least one confirmation that others have encountered the problem before wasting too much time and energy on raising with IBM!

I'm not sure entirely what you are doing but I think it's likely that you are doing something that the developers probably never anticipated.

If you could post a sample worksheet it might help.

For anyone that is interested....I've now logged this with IBM and initial discussions (yes they phoned me!) indicated that this appears to be a newly identified bug. Once this is confirmed I will post SR details in the bug section.
