Custom ( Web ) link to local network drive does not work with FireFox
Experts:
Does anyone know how to make custom link referring to local network drive work with Firefox? I played around for a bit but could not figure it out.
The link works fine with IE, but with Firefox its trying to open the link as web address. I tried to open it as plain URL as well as JavaScript with no success.
The local network drive looks something like below,
URL
"\\lvlhome\\common\\DeltaMetrics"
In JavaSript
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/16.0/connection.js")}
window.location.pathname="file:\\\\\lvlhome\\common\\DeltaMetrics";
Let me know if there is a way to make this work in FireFox.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have read the replies related to creating a custom link to use to take the user to a network folder, but I have tried the suggestions but my link gives me an error. Could you take a look and see what I am missing? I am using IE.
My test is to just have the link take me to a folder on my local drive.
I create a custom field to hold the location or path to the folder. I am not accessing a specific file in this folder, I just want to direct the user to the folder, and the thought was to have the user then select a specific file from those listed in the folder.
Custom field is a text field with this default value
C/Admin
My formula field is coded as
HYPERLINK("file:////" & Review_Location__c, "Board Review Notes")
Upon clicking on the Board Review Notes link I get a Windows Explorer error
Cannot find file 'file://c/Admin'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.
Thank you for any help.
You need a : after the c. There's always a colon following a drive letter.
