Need to show .wav file has a hyperlink in the SSRS 2005
Hi, I have a simple report ( in SSRS 2005) with a tablix control with a few fields (textboxes).In one field i need to show (.wav file) has a link to the file location.(The file path would be something like this:(`\\11.12.11.53\abc\2012061511111.wav`) I tried in few ways but it doesn't working. Can any one please suggest me need ASAP.Thanks in advance!.
Right click the field, choose **Properties** Go to **Navigation** Enable **Jump to URL** In the URL box type : `file://11.12.11.53/abc/2012061511111.wav`
Just tried this on my test (albeit SSRS 2008R2) instance. The `file://computername/temp/ding.wav` worked and the wav played. Just make sure the account that is running SSRS has access to that file location.
Just in case if you are not able to work with the above suggestion, another way is to share your folder through WEB/IIS. Once you correctly shared it with correct permissions, then you can access it through normal http hyperlink. Rest of the procedure is the same as mentioned in the above suggestion. Only need to use `http://` instead of `file://`.
I guess you should seek help from the best person i.e. your system administrator. I am saying so because based upon the authentication i.e. NTLM/KERBEROS/BASIC authentication, you would access the folder and files.
@Neha.sql Happy to know that it helped. BTW, all this web sharing may not be needed if you move the files to the Reporting folders (Already shared). Hence, the permission inheritance would ease the job and the client should agree to implement it. Last but not least, if the above was the solution to problem then please tick/mark the answer as accepted. It would increase your karma points and it would also help the future users. Thanks.
