What do you need to do with shard location ?

You could use the SYSTEM command, I think it works in MAINTAIN.

What are you trying to do with the the drive? Are you reading from it or writing to it? We can give you a Browse button to make a selection. Give me an idea of what you are trying to do.

Hi Mark,
I just have to open the window for the maintain application users through a link on the form. Files are already saved on the windows drive and users will just use it as any other normal windows folders. No Rading/Writing required from maintain. Please suggest.

Thanks.

The easiest method would be to place a button or on the screen and add a click event.

Use JavaScript to perform

window.open("\\\\uknastest01\\TEST_FOLDER ");

In my testing I found I had to double the slashes to make it work.

Thanks Mark.
I am trying to open the windows drive through a variable as below:
function OnButton1_Click ( )  {

var window = "\\\\uknastest01\\TEST_FOLDER";

window.open(window);

}


The window location would be dynamic and needs to be derived in a variable and would be further used in window.open function. The problem is that javascript does not support this method and it throws error. Please advice.

Thanks,
Anil

I changed the var name to window1 from window and it worked fine. Thanks.
