Open Windows Explorer with path from IR?

Hi.
Using latest version of APEX on Oracle XE 10.
I have a database that has fields with UNC paths in. I want to be able to launch Windows Explorer with these paths from an Interactive Report... is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Hi, and thanks for the response.
I'm not sure if I've been clear in what I was asking as this seems like overkill at first glance - or maybe I just don't get what's actually involved! ;-)
E.g. Say my data was
Analyst : Mr Any Body
Date: 04/01/2012
Path: \\server1\vol1\DirA\Subdir1
I'd like the Path field to appear as a hyperlink that opens Windows Explorer with that path in the address bar. Is this not possible with javascript or something? Even if it is, I need some help with how/where to plug that into my Interactive Report.
If I used something other than an Interactive Report (e.g. just a regular form), could I code a button to do this task?
Thanks again,
Adam.

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

  • Popup -  open Windows Explorer in a new window...

    Hi guys,
    I'm stuck on how to have a button that opens a new instance of Windows Explorer with a path defined by a variable.
    I've got a java popup for a URL which works no problem, but it won't work for a hard drive or network location.
    Example, i have the following which will open up a new Google page.
    javascript:popUp2('http://www.google.com', 400, 400);
    but javascript:popUp2('C:\Windows', 400, 400); will not work, even though I know I can type in hard drive location into the address bar of a browser and know it will work.
    Any suggestions no how to do this?
    NT

    I am also trying to do something similar. I want to launch an application from a button. Basically it is for a virtual keyboard on a touch screen app. To safeguard against the user exiting the keyboard application.
    I am using
    javascript:popUp2('file://C:/Documents and Settings/colin.mclay/My Documents/Kiosk App', 400, 400);

  • Update opens Windows Explorer instead of download iOS 5...

    When I connect my iPad 2 (4.3.3) to iTunes (10.5), then select Update, it opens Windows Explorer instead of looking for the update from Apple.  How can I get it to download iOS 5?  I am using 32-bit Windows 7 Enterprise.

    It typically opens the default browser regardless of which browser you're actually using.  I'm wondering if there's a funky registry key or something that confuses things for your system.
    Either way, we usually launch the default system browse, which is not necessarily the browser you started the installation with.  This is a long-standing bad experience, and something that I complain to the team that makes the installer about on a regular basis.  Everyone involved recognizes that the behavior is less than ideal, but it's a fundamental design problem and it's not something that can be addressed with a simple fix.  It *is* very much on the radar as something that we want changed, and I'm pretty sure that it will get resolved in the installer over the long-term.
    In the meantime, if you would like to avoid the Flash Player upgrade process entirely, Google Chrome includes Flash Player as a built-in component.  There's nothing separate to download from Adobe, and all the updates are made available directly through Chrome's update mechanism.

  • Problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?

    Has anybody experienced problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?
    Lacking any "forbidden" or "appropriate usage" guidelines, I regularly use Windows Explorer (Windows 2000) to transfer file from the desktop. I have occasionally sensed that this might be wrong. Today I inadvertently clicked the MAC harddrive instead of the Desktop (within Windows Explorer) and caused all manner of mischief.
    Any other views please?

    Let me correct this:

  • Lightroom won't open Windows Explorer

    I'm running the current version of Lightroom. For a while now, it hasn't been opening Windows Explorer after I do an export (even though I have it set to do so), but that didn't bother me much so I let it go. But just now I wanted to view one of my photos in it's location on the hard drive, so I chose "show in Explorer" in the right-click menu, and it didn't open Explorer.  I searched the forums here, and also via Google for a solution but wasn't able top find one. Can you help?
    Thanks,
    DS

    It is working fine here, both as an Export setting and as a Right Click - Show in Explorer.

  • Can a link or button in a PDF open Windows Explorer to a folder for browsing?

    Hello!
    I am a ColdFusion and JavaScript developer, but was given a PDF search tool project that I have been developing in Acrobat XI Pro for use on Reader XI.  I have most of it figured out and working very well with several JavaScript functions behind a form.  My customer just asked for me to add a feature to allow the user to click a button or link and open up the library folder (with the documents being searched) in Windows Explorer so that they can browse to the file if they know exactly what they want.
    So far, I have tried app.launchURL with the folder path and name.  That did open it in Internet Explorer, but my customer wants it in Windows Explorer.  I also tried app.browseForFile(), but I can't seem to specify the directory to start browsing it.  I can't find anything online that indicates that this is even possible or how to do it.  Can someone please point me in the right direction?  Also, if it isn't possible, I can accept that.  I just need to be able to tell my customer and I can't find any documentation on it.
    Thank you very much for your help!

    Sorry,  not possible.
    I want to correct myself. There is an old "hack" that still seems to work, which is to create a link to a file, but instead of pointing it to a file you point it to a folder. But Acrobat only lets you select a folder when you create such a link, so how to do it? Create a Word document with such a hyperlink and then use the PDFMaker plugin to convert the file to a PDF. This side-steps the Acrobat limitation and gives you a link to a folder, which when clicked will open it in Windows Explorer.
    As I said, it's a bit of a hack and it's possible it will stop working if Adobe ever decides to block it, so use it with care.

  • AGPM 4.0 SP2 Editors cannot open "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" area of a GPO

    When attempting to Edit a checked-out GPO in AGPM, & navigating to "Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - LDAP://CN...." Editors
    get:
    "There was an error opening the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in
    An error occurred while trying to open the policy.
    Error: The system cannot find the path specified
    Code 0x3"
    This happens with GPOs that existed prior to AGPM install where the GPO was "controlled", and with new Controlled GPOs created within AGPM.  A workaround is to grant the user Full Control within AGPM (and have them re-launch Group Policy Management
    MMC via Shift right-click "Run as different user"), but this circumvents the Change Control we are attempting to use AGPM for.  Any ideas of how to fix this, or how to file a bug report?
    Also, changes made to Incoming Firewall rules do not show up in the AGPM Settings or Differences reports.  I'd imagine this is related to the known issue described on the Release Notes page here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn458958.aspx

    Hi Fabian - Thanks for the response.  I checked & the AGPM Server is on a subnet that was not mapping to any AD Site.  Based on its subnet/location, it actually should be in the same Site as the PDCe.  I added a new Subnet definition to
    AD & waited until "nltest /dsgetsite" was reporting the correct Site on the AGPM Server.  Now, with just Editor role, I can access the Advanced Firewall area of a checked out GPO from my AGPM Client, which is correctly in a different AD Site. 
    I think this might have solved it.
    Should this requirement be added to AGPM documentation?  "AGPM Server must be installed on a server that is in the same AD Site as the DC holding the PDCe role."
    Thanks for the tip!

  • Opening windows explorer window

    I would like to create a link that will open a windows
    explorer window when the user clicks it, so they can view files
    that are on the CD (much like the "Explore CD" button that is on
    the front of installation CD's). Can anyone provide that lingo?

  • I can open Windows Live with Ff4 and can 'see' emails but cannot open them. It was fine with Ff3. Is there a plug-in?

    If I right click on the messenger icon on the toll bar it opens windows live in firefox by default. Then the page just hangs. I can see the emails but cannot open them. It works ok if I load in internet explorer browser.

    That format is used primarily to record TV shows, which you are generally not allowed to edit.  So it's unlikely you'll find a plug-in or converter.
    Recapture using Premiere Pro or HDVSplit.  Those files will work.

  • LOOOOOONG pauses in Windows Explorer with file copy, rename, new folder, etc.

    I am using Windows 7 64-bit pro and I am experiencing horribly long pauses in Windows Explorer on very simple file operations, such as renaming a file, copying a file, creating a new folder, etc. Here is an example:
    1. Open a folder in windows explorer, e.g. My Documents
    2. Select a file
    3. Hit F2 and enter a new name for the file, then hit ENTER to save the name
    4. Windows Explorer now shows the wait cursor and becomes completely unresponsive, sometimes for MINUTES.
    This is crazy. I read somewhere it may be due to shell extensions -- another post specifically called out MagicDisc, but I uninstalled that and still have the problem. After a fresh reboot the problem usually is not there immediately, but always comes back eventually.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Lex3001,
    I would like to confirm what are the results in Safe Mode and Clean Boot?
    I also would like to suggest you run ShellExView again and disable some shell extensions to check the issue.
    Run ShellExView
    =================
    1. Launch ShellExView again and scan the computer.
    2. Press "Ctrl" on the keyboard and click all items which are marked in pink in the list.
    3. Choose "File" then "Disable Selected Items".
    4. Quit and restart the computer to check the Windows Explorer issue again.
    Does it work?
    In addition, I also would like to suggest you create a new user account to check the result

  • How can I do the same as Windows Explorer with datemodified:11/6/2013 .. 11/13/2013 showing only changed files with path in tree and NOT every folder along the way as Finder seems to do by default? Thanks!

    I'm an Apple newbie.
    I'd like to be able to list each file in the "Desktop" tree (ie; on the desktop, or in any folder on the desktop, etc.), along with its path, that has been modified since a certain date.
    When I use Finder to do a similar search, I get tons of output including every folder in the path to the modified file, etc. Although I can view the path to the individual files in the output, I can't for example, order the output by path, etc.  Very difficult to sort through. I'd love to have output like the example above - just the filename and path for each changed file.  Possible?  Thanks in advance!
    Wayne

    The file structure is a little complex. I will use inbox as an example.
    Inbox (a large file with no file extension)
    Inbox.msf ( An index of inbox with tags etc. Can be deleted with only loss of tags)
    Inbox.sdb (a folder, indicating that the folder within Thunderbird has a sub folder.
    POP mail is stored in
    Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/[Server name]/
    Local folder is stored in
    Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/Mail/Local Folders/
    As long as you do not overwrite, you can copy and paste whole folder trees into local folders (stuff on your old computer under a mail account is best relocated to local folder and then sorted as necessary afterwards.
    Note that you should delete foldertree.json after making those sorts of copies (it forces a full refresh of the folder tree, no cache) and under no circumstances copy data with Thunderbird running. It can irrevocably corrupt things

  • Sharepoint 2013 Does not open files using UNC path from Server

    Hi All,
    Just setup our new 2013 sharepoint intranet site , I tried adding a hyperlink to a document stored on our server using a UNC path file://servername/share/filename.doc but when i click on it it takes me to a blank Webpage in a new tab.
    I have turned on "open client applications" in the site collection features hoping that would help ....buuuuuut it did not.
    Also tried variations in the UNC path eg: \\servername\share\filename.doc etc..
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
