I have a column, "Last File", that has a name and a hyperlink to the file on a server.
On Excel export the file opens, e.g. the hyperlink, \\intut\PTA\Uploads\12422.pdf opens the PDF. Just what I want.
In the Telerik Report, when I click the hyperlink Internet Exporer opens and I get, "The page cannot be found ". In the address area is "http://localhost/intutPTAUploads12422.pdf". It seems to have added "http://localhost", "localhost" is the server, replaced "\\intut" with "/intut" and removed all the "\"s.
What do I need to do to get a hyperlink to a file to work?

Hi, This seems browser related. Have you tried with IE?

Hi David,
Which version of IE are you using? In general links to local files are considered а security risk by browsers and such links work only in IE. You can also try with file links (file://) but this will not work in Firefox since it has a setting that prevents opening files from external web sites.
file:// will look like this when you add your path: file:// /files/yourfile.file .
All the best,

That worked when I doubled up \
Path: <
add key="UploadFileLocation" value="\\intut\PTA\Uploads\"/>
Path that works in Telerik Report <
add key="UploadFileReportLocation" value="file://intut\\PTA\\Uploads\\"/>
