Hi
I'm not a programmer but a web enthusiast that likes to creates some controls for my day-to-day tasks. I work on the engineering department for an electronics company....
I have a problem with a page that I designed...
I designed a mySQL database and a web page using CCS 4.3 for all the Drawing designs that my department created in the last 3 years.
The physical files are stored in a file server that is categorized in folders and subfolders as follows:
-DesignFiles >>>Main folder
-0000-0500 >>>Category
-DMT0000001 >>>>Design Folder
-DMT000001A.ZIP >>>>File & Rev
-DMT000001B.ZIP
.
.
-DMT0000002
.
.
- DMT000500
- 0501-1000 and so on....
In the database I can access all the general information for each design such as number, description, requester, etc. Everything works fine to access the information in my webpage.
The problem is that one of the columns is the Folder Address where each design revision resides. I tried to add a link that opens the folder location in the server (in a normal Explorer Window, not in the browser)
I tried to take the address for the Link from the database using different values but did not work.
In the database I have a column called folderaddress where all the values has the following format:
file://\\DesignFiles\0000-0500\DMT0000001
IF I put this string on the web browser address bar, it takes me directly to the folder where I have the info, but in the code for the link does not work...
Maybe this is something simple, but my knowdlege is limited to CCS manual and the forums...
Thank you in advance for your help!
JC

I think prefixing the slashes with a slash may fix it . . . . try this instead within your code.
file://\\\\DesignFiles\\0000-0500\\DMT0000001

I tried as you mentioned and !!!It Did work!!!
Just I had to make a small change...only one slash before the subfolders
At the end, I ended up changing my database with the folder address as follows:
file://\\\\DesignFiles\0000-0500\DMT0000001
Thank you very much for your help!
I owe you a beer, phpminer...
