Hello,
I implemented the link and bind it to Word format attached file. It created Open File link in the bottom of the screen. When I tried to open a link, I started having a message "Word found unreadable contents in the file. Do you want to recover the content?" and when click "Yes" the message come up "Word experience an error trying to open the file"
Hi Inna,
Sorry! I'm not able to understand "Word attached file"?
Is it that you are referring a word document Binary content (via an hidden link) from database table or referring the Word file from some server location?
See this sample app (I'm referring the word document imported in the Data Tab/Resource Directory of the application module)
URL Syntax:
"http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://YOUR_FILE_PATH&embedded=true"
"http://docs.google.com/gview?url=" + "https://personal-zm7txfa3.outsystemscloud.com/TWA_Lab/Sample.docx" + "&embedded=true"
If this is not what you are looking for, could you please elaborate more about your use-case. So that we can help you better :)
Hope this helps you!
Kind regards,
Benjith Sam
Hello Benjith,
Thanks a bunch for your response!
Looks like this is exactly what we wants. We need to open attachment in the Word format.
Will use this sample to see how it works in our environment.
Again, thanks a lot for help!
