I have looked through the forum but the posts seem to say different things first it was HTML in custom field then something called markdown and then lubos said he will implement a hyperlink field where we could just enter the link. I dont think he has done that and the HTML did not work and I dont know what markdown is . So can someone tell me how to do it .I am in the version 23.10.12.1043 and its the desktop ,windows 11 office 365, 64bit. and its to a PDF in my D drive
If I understand your requirement, you can try this:
<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://..........">nameoflink</a>
There are always answers in the forum if you do a thorough search…
As I explained I found 3 of them the hyperlink did not work, the mark down I did not know what that’s was and Lubos has not implemented a set hyperlink field yet.
Any way I forgot to say they are PDFs or jpg, your Hyperlink did not work it asks for a program to open it
here is my link
<a target=“_blank” rel=“noopener noreferrer” href=“https://“D:\Documents\AccessTaskManager\ClientLetters\Allen Harriman 001_Page_1.pdf””>nameoflink
I provided a method for link to a url, not a file in your drive (this is why it starts with https:// - this cannot be used for local files).
See this topic Creating Links to your own files/invoices/purchases etc
This topic # Add Signature in cloud editon can also be used as a guide for attachments through the programme (much more solid method to avoid links to local files).
Oh sorry I did say it was to my D drive and it was a PDF
I guess it is how you ask. I put in Hyperlink which I would of thought it would of picked up anything to do with hyperlinks I see now I should of just put link.
Not interested in attachments bloats it too much
Got it ! the trick is it wont work to your local drive so I saved all files to my drop box and copied path from there and it worked or one drive would work as well.
The silly thing is I discovered this a few years ago but had forgotten and scrolling through HTML posts I found it. It really is the way you ask.
