Cognos Hyperlink to the files in my machine

[Kanag]

Hi Guys,
        I have a question on Hyperlink in Cognos.

My Requirement:

Files are stored in a Shared drive in a server (in the same domain)

I need to have a hyperlink to those files from the Cognos report.

When I tried to hyperlink a file stored in my machine (C:\Test\test.doc) , I could not succeed.

Do I need to change any settings for the same?


Thanks,
Kanagaraj S

Give this a go:

file:///c:/Test/test.doc

Cheers

You may need to configure your web server to point to the shared drive - probably by adding a virtual directory.  If you do, your hyperlink would then be http://<servername>/<virtual directory>/test.doc
