Hi,

I have a form on which I would like to have a list of links to external documents. These documents may be word, pdf, jpg and other files.

I have tried using the hyperlink control with a file reference, i.e.:
file:///c:\myfile.doc, but I get 'access denied'.

I have also tried using javascript:

var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var oExec = WshShell.Run("c:\\myfile.doc");

This works in preview, but in published form I get 'Automation server can't create object'

Does this have something to do with the form trust? Does anyone have any ideas how I could have a simple link to an external file?

Thanks,
Sean.

Hello,
I'm having a similar problem with the script code in InfoPath:
var objWS = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var myDocFolder = objWS.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments");

I've updated the Intranet security settings to enable non-signed ActiveX controls, but still get the Automation error. Any other suggestions?

thanks,
Jake
