I have a database which stores information from documents. The link to the PDF version of this document is also saved in the database. The PDF files are archived in a directory structure. The ability to view the PDF file depends on the rights of the user. When someone publishes a new document he or she can send an e-mail to the persons who are allowed to read this document.
What I want is to send an e-mail with a hyperlink so the reader of this e-mail can access the PDF document with this hyperlink. I made a “view document” form which is an .EXE file. You can type the doc. number in a text field and this will start Adobe Acrobat with the correct PDF file. I made a batch file which start up the EXE form and this results in viewing the PDF file. I have tried to replace the Batch file by a hyperlink, but I can’t get it work.
Who can help me with this problem?
