In one application i want to be able to link to files from within a Notes doc. Since i don't have browser capabilities on that external drives , i use the file:///P:drive protocol instead of the http protocol.<br />
<br />
Only now i want an easy way to create automatically URL links to those external files. It wouldn't be a problem for http protocol since Notes automatically converts it to a URL link , that isn't the case for a file:/// link.<br />
I can create a URL link manually using file:/// and it works ok. Although i would want to generate it through formula or scripting. Generally : is it possible to create Hotspots automatically , ie without the user has to create it manually ?<br />
<br />
Any clues ?

Creating links to external files

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.
