Pointing to Network Documents via S-Controls
Hi,
I am wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I am encountering:
I have created a custom tab that uses a custom s-control. The s-control contains links to documents, housed on our companys network server. I've tried using <a href='file:// etc..>name of link</a> to solve my problem, but the custom link doesn't load whatsoever. In my status bar, I do see that the links are correct - SFDC just doesn't forward the user to that page.
I've thought of creating a 'path' field and using a custom formula field to achieve this - i just didn't want to have to build another related list object. Any workarounds outside of using a href?
Thanks!

So basically your document would contain exactly this:
(or you could just plain put the file in Content too, which is really what it's for)
The original idea was to use a simple HTML document as the s-control and just have links that point to the network content and either house it within the SFDC page or open a new page entirely. I may have to recreate this as a related list I am thinking, which wasn't my original intention...
If you have any other advice I'm open, but thanks!
i literally built an s-control and wrote all the code within it. It has 4 links to the library of network files. There is a simple text explanation as well that describes what links to push as well. The example code is as follows:
<a href="file://cvres1/Cars/Direct%20Reporting/DMA/05%202008%20May">Monthly Searches and Contacts Trending Report by DMA</a>
<a href="file://cvres1/Cars/Direct%20Reporting/DMA/Search%20by%20County%20and%20Make">Monthly Searches Report by COUNTY and MAKE</a>
<a href="file://cvres1/Cars/Direct%20Reporting/Maps">Not sure which DMA your selling territory is in? Click here for MAPS</a>
it the status bar of my browser the links are correct - if i type the same links into my browser window, it loads the network page and shows me exactly what I need. My problem is pointing to these..
If anyone can show me, awesome! i'm not good with html :)
