hyperlink won't open

[azaleas]

I have a hyperlink with a URL attached to table column (&&Column_name). the thing is the hyperlink gets the URL but won't open it. When I copy the URL and paste it on a new tab it opens. But not when I click the hyperlink. It just shows the address (file:///file_path).

URL points to a local file which was uploaded with upload service of Ebase.

It's probably browser security that stops it working. But does it make any sense to include a file link in a hyperlink? The "file://xxx" link refers to a file on the browser's machine, not the server.

Thanks Jon. I fixed the problem.
