FilePath URL not navigating via click
I feel like I'm missing something obvious here. The URL type field seems to be intended to provide clickable URLs to both sites (http://) and local file folders (C:/users/etc.). I can get it to work...

Two options for Chrome:
Enable local file links Extension

Invoke Chrome with command line switch
chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files
Enable local file links Extension

chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files
- Dan. is this still working? I just tried to run chrome with that extension, and it still doesn't work. Nothing happens when I click on the URL field that has the network folder path. I can see that QuickBase has converted \ to / and added the file:// protocol and everything, but still nothing happens.
- I would look at the comments associated with the extension to see if others are having issues (I did not check this myself).
In regards to the second option, you have to invoke Chrome with the flag:
--allow-file-access-from-files
Again, I did not check this anew. - After installing the chrome extension, it works!. Thanks!
