Description
While the HyperLinkToURL function is supported, it cannot link to the URL of a PowerServer application. This is because an Internet Explorer process only supports one PowerServer application at a time. Executing the HyperLinkToURL function from one PowerServer application to open another will cause Internet Explorer to shut down.
Workaround
Method 1: Using the Run function to open the second application
Step 1: Replace the call to the HyperLinkToURL function with a call to the Run system function. Comment out the script in the HyperLinkToURL button and add the following script:
run("IEXPLORE.EXE http://192.0.2.189:8080/b237293/",Maximized!);In the code example, "http://192.0.2.189:8080/b237293" can be replaced with the URL of a PowerServer application.
Step 2: At the Web server, copy the IEXPRLORE.EXE to C:\WINNT\system or C:\WINNT\system32. Alternatively, add the directory C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer in the PATH variable.
Method 2: Using the PictureHyperLink URL property to open the second application
Step 1: Add a PictureHyperLink control to the first application, from which the second application will be opened.
Step 2: Specify the URL of the second application as the URL of the PictureHyperLink control.
