Open document

[vanman]

Hi

Firstly thanks for all help so far.

I want to be able to open a pdf file from the file system that I placed when we send the email, also saved the filename and path in a document table.
On a documents tab is a sub form showing the saved documents including a open button.
onclick I want to open the document the file.

Thanks

Paul

Add an onclick event to the buttons like

Code: Select all

const fileName = nuSubformRowObject(event.target.id, 'file_name'); // <- rename file_name
window.open(fileName, 'blank');

where file_name is the the object id of the filename.
