Hi,

is it possible to open an fileserver folder with an click on an custom form button? We have an folder on the fileserver with some excel files and wanted to give the users the opportunity to open the folder with only one click in the changerequest form.


regards,

Jan

    Hi Jan,

    Generally a website trying to open an exe (in your case exploere.exe) on the device is considered a huge security risk (think about viruses) and is therefore now allowed by any browser.

    Cireson does have a free app though, which runs on the machine and acts as a little middle ware, allowing the browser to trigger it and it in turn can open explorer.

    The app is called Remote App Launcher.
