Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

I want to create a button (can be either from Ribbon Workbench or HTML web resource) that triggers a shell execute command to open a directory in the network database server.

ShellExecute(0, PChar('Open'), PChar(xHelpFile), '', '', SW_SHOWNORMAL) <= 32

Where

xHelpFile = ‘\\DSICRM\CtelWin\Online Help\SW Latest\DSISWHelp.chm’

How can I do the same?

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,

I don't think you can execute shell script on CRM Online. Even if you are able (I don't have any experience on that) but I am pretty sure you cannot access the network resources on CRM online.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can't access resources through plugins/custom workflow, but you should be able to do that using javascript something like this msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg537745(v=vs.85).aspx without any problem.

Hi Mahender,

Thanks for your reply.

The link that you have shared is for desktop apps only (client). How can I do this on browser/crm online?

Thanks,

Jon
