Re: Opening a file on the IFS via email link

JUST ran in to this today.  Ended up fixing the authorization list so that 
the users PC signon also had access.  I know that NetServer supports 
something called a Guest Userid.  You can click on NetServer properties 
and see this.  Ain't exactly sure how it's used.  Didn't seem to make a 
rat's bit of difference today. 

Probably not RPG related though.  I did just about that exact email too.

Opening a file on the IFS via email link






I am sending out an email to my users after they've converted a database
file to CSV format. In that email I include the URL link to the file on 
the
IFS, as follows:

  Your file is available by clicking on the following link:

   file:\\mydomain.com\ifsfolder1\ifsfold2\yourfile.csv

The problem is that some users (most?) can not click on the link and have 
it
open Excel. In stead, it does nothing or gives them a message box that 
says
"Cannot open file...".

By changing some user IDs and passwords to the AS/400 to be the same as 
the
network user ID and password, it seems to work. But for others it does 
not.
I don't know what area to look in to try to resolve this issue.
Any suggestions?
-Bob
