Hi
Is it some how possible to open up an Excel based inputform by triggering an URL address. We would like to achieve is to link and open Excel based input forms from the Documents or Library part of the Web Client. As far as i know it is not possible to add an Excel based input form to a Workspace and in the documents area we only have the option of uploading the file or writing an URL. Uploading the Excel file works fine but then we have to maintain the same Excel Input Form to times (Excel and the Document on the web).
Therefore we have the request to see if it is possible ot open the Excel based input form by calling an URL. Is this possible?
When working with BPF's it is possible to link to input forms through work spaces, but that functionality seems to be restricted to BPF.

Hi Chris,
this is possible, but not within the standard.
Just create a link to the certain Excel file and put it in your portal/web client.
The problem is the connection and the security.
For establishing the connection you have two possible ways:
1. Creating a javascript combined with the link, which establishs an EPM connection.
2. Creating a VBA within your report, which checks the connection during opening and establishes a connection if there is none.
I have done way 2 several times and it works pretty well.
Best Regards,
Karsten
