Re: JSF and URL's

Thanks Pete. 
I actually have it like this, I just didn't grab it when I copied it to
the message.  I originally started this in Green Screen but for our
purposes, its not practical in Green screen(using hotspots).  This works
currently with my sample green screen program, but when I bring it in to
my JSF its treated as text not a link.

Mike,

I don't know how you are displaying the field contents but if it is in 
an HTML form but located on the local hard drive then your HTML would 
have an href tag followed by file:///and then the path.

Such as <a href="file:///C:\BILLS\F111504\A0015209.HTML">File 
description or name here</a>

I can't tell from your post just how you want to reference the file but 
in HTML this should work.
