Correct link to local folder in excel

I have a datebase of materials in excel document with cells that have paths to folders where the materials are stored
I want to link my local folders from my network to these certain cells in Excel so that my friends both from PC and Mac could quickly access them.
Unfortunately, when I add folder address from my local network that starts from smb:// - the system doesn't understand that and turns it to local.
What is the right thing to do?

As far as I know it is not possible directly. I made a workaround though which implies making a webpage that does the trick (you'd need access to some webserver).
Make a simple webpage, eg http://www.yourdomain.com/excel2path.htm with this source code:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var OpenPath=parent.location.search.substring(1) // retrieves smb-path from URL (all after the ?-mark)
location.href=OpenPath
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Then in excel the formula for the hyperlink should be something like:
=HYPERLINK("http://www.yourdomain.com/excel2path.htm?smb://serverx/folderx/filex", "friendly name to click on")
(with the CONCATENATE function you could dynamically build the smb-path)
Done. If you now click on the hyperlink in excel, the webpage should load which takes the smb-path from the URL and automatically redirects to that path...

Design view and browser view in DW are different than when I view from local folder

I'm brand new to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and here is my problem:
I've made an html page in dreamweaver with a banner, with an additional graphic and some text on top of the banner. It displays just fine in every browser when I view from the local folder, but when I open DW and view, it displays incorrectly in all three design, live and browser views within DW. If I make changes to the css file until it views correctly in design view, it no longer displays correctly from the local folder and it still doesn't view correctly in live or browser view within DW. If what I'm doing isnt going to display accurately in any of the views provided by Dreamweaver as compared to the live server, whats the point in having this software? I could just keep building webpages in notepad and uploading with CoreFTP.
Any suggestions? Is it some setting that I dont know about that I need to change within DW? Please help.

align="center" is deprecated (obsolete) code in XHTML & HTML5 doc types. Instead of styling markup with HTML, you should be using CSS.
CSS
.center {text-align:center}
HTML
<p class="center">some centered text here</p>
With respect to break tags, in XHTML doc types the correct syntax is <br /> not <br>. However your usage of line breaks is inconsistent with good symantic markup. Use headings <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> for important keywords. Use <p> for descriptive paragraphs. Use <ul> <li> or <ol> <li> for lists. Line breaks should be used minimally if ever.
XHTML doc types require all tags to be lowercase. Uppercase tags will throw errors.
Your design is too rigid. When text size is increased in browsers, your content is unreadable. See screenshot.
SOLUTIONS:
1) DO NOT USE POSITION ABSOLUTE. You don't need it. Absolute positioning removes content from the normal document flow resulting in a jumbled mess. Use default CSS positioning (none) with margins, padding & floats to align elements.
2) Remove HEIGHT values from all CSS containers. Height limits a container's capacity to hold more content when needed. Container height should always be determined by the amount of content it holds; not explicit values. If required to reveal a background image, for example, use CSS min-height instead of height.

Download all excel files from sharepoint location to local folder

Hi,
How to I copy all excel files stored at sharepoint location to local folder?
Regards,
Nidhi

Hi NidhiP,
To download Excel files from a SharePoint library by using SSIS, we need to make use of the Script Task. In the Script Task, we can use the methods provided by
Lists Web Service to work with SharePoint files, and then use the
WebClient.DownloadFile Method or
FileStream Class to transfer the files from SharePoint to local file system.
For the code examples, please refer to:

URGENT! Please how to link button to a local folder?

Hi
I am using a MAC
Please this is really urgent as I only have less than an hour to figure how to change my interface so the button will just open a local folder on the desktop??
i tried getURL- but does not seem to work
ANY help will be appreciated and life saving!!

here's code from the flash help files (which is what you should be using):
import flash.net.FileReference;
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onSelect: " + file.name);
    if(!file.upload("http://www.yourdomain.com/yourUploadHandlerScript.cfm")) { // use your own file handling server url file
        trace("Upload dialog failed to open.");
listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onCancel");
listener.onOpen = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onOpen: " + file.name);
listener.onProgress = function(file:FileReference, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
    trace("onProgress with bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded + " bytesTotal: " + bytesTotal);
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onComplete: " + file.name);
listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference):Void {
    trace("onHTTPError: " + file.name);
listener.onIOError = function(file:FileReference):Void {

HELP! Deleting files in local folder deletes files from Mac HD.

After "getting" entire remote folder, all folders on my desktop and all folders and files linked to them (thousands) showed up in the Files Panel of my Local Folder. And each had a plus character next it. Worse, deleting one of these files deletes the actual file from my desktop and Mac HD. What can I do?

The + means it's a folder, click it to see the files within it.
DW doesn't store any files, it just organizes and works with the files on your desktop, so deleting a file from within DW will delete it from your HD. That is the expected and correct outcome.
When defining a site, you need to create a root folder for your site files to be stored (don't use your desktop folder). If you don't create a root folder to work from, I could see accidentally including all of your desktop items in your site. If that's what has happened, you need to redefine your site: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs5/gs01-defining-a-new-site/
Anything that was deleted will need to be restored from a back-up, if that's what's happening.

IMAP messages not downloading to local folder?

Hi. I've just switched from an iBook G4 to my new monster, MacBook Pro. However, I've run into a problem:
I'm using an IMAP account in Mail, hence there was no problem getting all my emails to my new computer, as they were all located on the server. However, on my iBook, I stored some of the emails locally as they were too big to store on the server over time. To get them downloaded to a local storage, I simply dragged the messages from my IMAP-folder to my local folders in Mail. I thought this deleted the messages from the IMAP-account and stored the complete message (including attachements) locally. However, now it seems like I was wrong. I've tried to import all the locally stored messages into my new Mac Book Pro, but Mail refuses to import them, even though they're in mbox-format. Then I tried to upload them to the mailserver from the iBook, and then download them to the MacBook Pro. This sort of worked, but then the messages appeared as they were all blank. To me, it seemed like only parts of the messages were downloaded when I first dragged them over to my local folders? So basically, I'm wondering if anyone can give me a hint on what causes this? Am I doing something wrong when I'm trying to download it to a local folder? I'm suspecting this might be the reason, as it seems like I'm using much more storage space on my mailserver than I can find any reason for. Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch!
MacBook Pro, Intel Core Duo 2.33 GHz, 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2GB RAM

David,
Sorry for not being more specific in my last post. It had been a while since I tried to import, so I trusted my memory on what happened. Obviously a mistake
Anyway, I've now tried to import once again, and you're right, they are in fact .mbox-folders, not files. Also, I've always tried to select the mbox-folder itself, or files within the mbox-folder. What I did wrong, as you pointed out, was that I did not select the folder which contained the mbox-folders.
Now, after I imported using your instructions, everything worked like a charm. I got all my emails imported Thanks a million!
I have one last question, though: To store emails locally instead of on the server, I've always dragged them onto a local folder. Is this the correct way of doing it? Will the emails on the server (which I store locally) be deleted, or will I just get a copy of them stored locally?

Importing multiple jpeg files from local folder into database LOB column

I have to programatically save multiple pictures (jpeg) from the folder on my PC into Oracle table LOB column. I have to be able to choose local folder on my PC where are the pictures, and press button on Oracle Forms to save pictures in LOB column in database.
I'm using Forms 6i and Oracle 10g Rel2 database.
Is this possible with Oracle Forms or the only way to do that is to use create directory database command and use dbms_lob package which I shouldn't do, because Oracle database directory is not allowed to see my local folder.

As I said I don't know how to use object data type, I just given a shot as below. I know the following code has errors can you please correct it for me.

Rd client via rdweb cannot access local folder

hi,
i recently installed remote-desktop web-service on Windows 2008 R2 for remote user to access a non-proprietary Microsoft application.
the installation was made in one box include the application
a. Remote Dekstop Session Host
b. Remote Desktop Licensing
c. Remote Desktop Gateway
d. Remote Desktop Web Access
i have managed to configure it to allow internal and external users to access the application by using RDWeb.
there are 2 outstanding issues here:
1. i tested the RDWeb to access MS Office (Word/Excel) remoteapp and save a doc to local folder.
tried to save it into my local folder, but it always ended-up with an error :
"Network error: Windows cannot access \\tsclient\d\(any local folder given). You do not have permission to access \\tsclient\d\.. "
2. for non Microsoft remoteapp, is there a way (by Group Policy perhaps?) for rdweb-users to locate their local drive/folder within the application?
anyone has ideas to resolve it?
thank you in advance.
rgds.

Search for Missing Links in This Folder option not working

I'm running InDesign CC 9.2.1, though this problem has persisted throughout the last few years and previous versions of InDesign. My operating system is OS 10.9.3. In early versions of InDesign, you could check the "Search for Missing Links in This Folder" option box when re-linking a missing link and the missing image would be highlighted in the finder window of the new image location. I did not keep track of what version of InDesign it was when this function ceased to work properly, but I would like to see if there is something I can do to make it work again.
The "Search for Missing Links in This Folder" check box is still in the finder window, and is always checked, so in theory it should highlight the missing link/s in the folder it is searching in, but it does not. The example below illustrates my point. The InDesign document that I used to illustrate this was opened up and there were four missing links. When I select the missing link/s and hit the relink button at the bottom of the links palate, I navigate to the correct location of the link but the image doesn't get selected even though the "Search for Missing Links" is checked. The missing link it should have highlighted was 431-11 frontal.psd, which clearly exists at the top of the "Front Street" folder.
This isn't a big deal when the folder contains four images. But when it has hundreds of links, it is a pain to try to find all of the links that are missing when the file name is often truncated, or it has an odd string of only numbers, etc. Just checking to see if anyone has any insight to this issue.

I think the yellow alert triangle next to each link name means that you just have to update those links, by hitting the refresh button at the bottom of the link panel once all links are selected (it's two arrows in a circle)

Acrobat 8.1- links to local files

Hello,
I'm having several MS-Word-files, which have to be converted to PDF. All files contain hyperlinks to web sites as well as links to files on our local file-server.
Conversion works fine out of MS Word 2003, but links to local files do only work, if I open the created file on the file server. If I up load it to our web server and open it with a browser, the local files can not be found (links to Internet do work).
If I edit the link properties within the created file by changing the performed action from 'open a file' to 'open a web link', starting the URL with 'file://...', the links work correct.
Is there any possibility to tell Acrobat, that this has do be done while converting MS-Word-files?
I even tried to change the absolute address within MS-Word, e.g. adding http:\\ to the link, but Word didn't allow this...

Thank so much.
But in other PCs the link works fine. It only happens in my Acrobat 9 Pro. In my mates PC the links works perfect.
Any suggestions? Maybe this is a windows problem?
Thanks!

RSRT: Error in Exporting File to Local Folder

Hi Experts
We executed a Query in RSRT t-code and when we try to download data to local folder, the file is getting downloaded with error message. Please help out to resolve the issue
"PAGENO=1&CMD=EXPORT&DATA_PROVIDER=DP&DUMMY=file.csv&FORMAT=CSV&REQUEST_NO=17"
Regards
Suresh Kumar

Hello Kumar,
Use the transaction RSRT2 (this will force the HTML display mode)
You will see some extra buttons as Export to CSV and Export to Excel.
Use these options. It should work. Otherwise, let me know the error message, if occurs.
Kind Regards,

I can't publish my site to a local folder.

I can't publish my site to a local folder. It says "Publish Error. An unknown error occurred". There is also no Domain.site2 in iWeb folder in Application Support. I was wondering if anybody may be able to help please? I can open the site from the local folder but working on changes will not work and some catagories don't show properly. I'm using Snow Leopard, iWeb 3.0.4. OS X 10.6.8

Are you looking in the correct library. You want the Home () /Library/Application Support folder.
Or you can download and run the shareware Find Any File to search for "domain.sites2". FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't and will find the domain file.

Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
Steps:
1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
thanks!

There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

Saving data to local folder

Hi, I am new using LiveCycle and this question would seem stupid but I create a form to enter clients data. I need to submit that data to a folder located in the same computer as an XML format. How can I set up the submit button to save the data in that local folder?
Thanks in advance.
Edmundo

You woudl not submit to your own machine. You can add a button to save the data locally. Put a normal button on the form. In the click event add this javascript code:
xfa.host.exportData("", false)
This will bring a dialog up and allow the user to choose the location and filename of the data file. If you do not pass parameters then the default extension of XDP will be used. By passing the false param then you are asking for a file extension of XML. In either case you are saving xml data it is just the extension that will change.
