| If a report returns some data is there a mechanism that can be used so if the user clicks on a field it will pass data to an application and launch the application? The scenario here is that the report can return the required data from a database. The data is Meta data for a video clip so when a user clicks on a field in a row I wish to fire up an application that can play the video. The data passed to the app would be the path and file name for the video file external to the database.Ie. Can a field display data and be a button to launch an app or code? |
