[SOLVED] Link to non WebFocus resources stored in repository

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple HTMLFORM that I'm writing myself where I want to link to a couple of files I've stored in the repository database that are Excel and PDF. Non were created in WebFocus.

My HTML
 
<a href="link to the file, this is the part I don't know" target="_blank">Sample text</a>
 


The location of the repository file is:
 
IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Uni_Dashboard/CDS/CDS_2010_2011.pdf
 


Is this at all possible?

Try this:

<a href="/ibi_apps/run.bip?BIP_REQUEST_TYPE=BIP_RUN&|BIP_folder=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Uni_Dashboard/CDS&|BIP_item=CDS_2010_2011.pdf" target="_blank">Sample text</a>

(The pipe characters are there so that HTMLFORM doesn't get confused... take them out if you decide to do this in a JavaScript file.)

That worked perfectly, thank you!
