Howdy all
I've inherited a Visio based system that has been saved as HTML & used as a series of linked web pages; while I've been in IT for years never used Visio worth a damn.
One of the pages in this system has a link to a Excel spreadsheet (actually a macro spreadsheet with an XLSM extn). When this link is clicked within the browser (Chrome) it downloads the file which then has to be opened as a local file, this is not the action we need. We require all users to open a common file from a share, the file must not be downloaded & actioned locally.
Looking at the webpage I see the verb being used is file://. The relevant part of the data.xml file that underlies this page follows:
<SolutionXML>
<HLURL:Hyperlinks xmlns:HLURL="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:visio:dghlinkext">
<HLURL:Hyperlink ID="1">
<HLURL:Description>File Description</HLURL:Description>
<HLURL:Address>S:\<filename>.xlsm</HLURL:Address>
<HLURL:SubAddress></HLURL:SubAddress>
<HLURL:ExtraInfo></HLURL:ExtraInfo>
<HLURL:Default>0</HLURL:Default>
<HLURL:NewWindow>0</HLURL:NewWindow>
<HLURL:AbsoluteURL>S:\<filename>.xlsm</HLURL:AbsoluteURL>
</HLURL:Hyperlink>
</HLURL:Hyperlinks>
</SolutionXML>
I've read around a bit about a few different ways of achieving what I need if I was coding this by hand but as this system needs to be maintained in Visio I'm looking for a way to do this natively in Visio; statically embedding the file is not an option.
So anyone got a suggestion/recommendation/witchcraft that will allow me to do what I need
?
TIA
