Hi Srikant,

It will be easy to help you, if you can let us know how you have implemented the hyperlinks ?

in expression-

= if(not isnull(leaveDocPath), 'Click here<url>File://server1/LeaveDocs/'&leaveDocPath,'NA')

Does this path (File://server1/LeaveDocs/) exist for all users?

Also, did you check permissions on Chrome? Is Chrome in that computer pending an update?

[jyothish8807]

Can you try this once :

'Click here' & '<url>'&'File://server1/LeaveDocs/'&leaveDocPath

Yes its working in IE and through desktop application. Chrome is up to date

didn't help

You can try running in the URL box

chrome://restart

And see whether it works.

It does for me, so if it doesn't, and it's not related to that computer's cache, you should engage with the IT team in case they have some policy not allowing to open these type of links in Chrome.

Thanks, but it still not working

There is no policy blocking of chrome and i have full admin rights to my machine... do i need any extension?

You should try what Gysbert recommended, a Chrome extension to open local files with the browser.

Anyway, I would still check with IT, this should work just fine. Did you try in a different laptop and also in the QlikView server?

Is this a network share? If so, did you try typing the URL yourself in the browser and see which error returns (forbidden, not found, etc.)?
