Michael, looking at one of your posts (I think it was one of yours) suggested that you had created a file (HTML?) to place into the imported items list that would link to your external Db or data.
AH HA says I: create an HTML file, mass import into AC (by copying the file to each patient's II folder, then running the administrator menu item: Imported Items: repair missing files and links.
That works for a page that lauches explorer to the existing folders I have images in (from 6 yr of scanning pre-AC). (I have issues with importing all of those files: seems to really drag down the performance when opening II.)
That works.
I have a small VB6 file viewer for those files that I wanted to link to as well, but can't figure out how to get it to run inside of AC: the page itself works find but I get an "Automation Server cant create object" error. at the last line:
Files for Blah Blah

<a href="file:///S:/Access/KDHDocuments/AGUE1264/"> Click Here for Imported KDH Notes</a>
<p></p>
<a href="file:///N:/RMGDocuments/AGUE1264/"> Click Here for RMG Created Notes</a>
<p></p>
<input type="button" value="See Files" onClick="var w = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell'); w.run('S:/access/Medrec/DocViewer.exe AGUE1264'); return true;">
Again, stand alone, button works fine; within AC the links to local folders run an Explorer session inside the AC II space, but the button errors out.
So with your PHP experience (and I have NONE, and very little JS or Java knowledge) I ask if you might have an Idea for a way that I could run and external EXE from a link in the II file.
Thanks.
