Did you create the report link field that I ask led you to create? Or did you skip that step.

I am not sure I follow what you mean by "Then make a report link field and configure both the left and the right matching fields to be that same report link formula field above"
This is the formula I have in the Rich text field. Which I have labeled [PDF Viewer].
If(
[Proof] = "", "No File",
"<iframe src=\"docs.google.com/gview?url="&URLRoot() & "up/" & Dbid() & "/a/r" &[Record ID#] & "/e6/v0" & "&embedded=true\" width=\"800\" height=\"2400\" frameborder=\"0\" target=\"_blank\"></iframe>")
[Proof] = "", "No File",
"<iframe src=\"docs.google.com/gview?url="&URLRoot() & "up/" & Dbid() & "/a/r" &[Record ID#] & "/e6/v0" & "&embedded=true\" width=\"800\" height=\"2400\" frameborder=\"0\" target=\"_blank\"></iframe>")
The file is located in FID 6. The name of that field is [Proof].
Thanks,

------------------------------ - LisaHohneck3 years agoQrew MemberThanks a lot for the suggestions.
I am using a similar combination of the iframe tag and google viewer which is displaying well, but I am getting the "This field includes unsupported content" warning pop up which seems to be caused by the iframe tag.
I get exactly the same warning pop up when using the suggested formula
If(
[Proof] = "", "No File",
"<iframe src=\"docs.google.com/gview?url="&URLRoot() & "up/" & Dbid() & "/a/r" &[Record ID#] & "/e6/v0" & "&embedded=true\" width=\"800\" height=\"2400\" frameborder=\"0\" target=\"_blank\"></iframe>")
Is there any communication that this will work after the August 21 release?

------------------------------ - MarkShnier__You3 years agoQrew ChampionI'm hopeful that is a false warning. Initially they plan to block all I frames and then they backed off from that I believe. It would be good for one of us to put in a support ticket and ask for an official answer.

------------------------------ - MarkShnier__You3 years agoQrew ChampionLisa the April Release Notes say this
Embed a secure, external website as an iframe on a form. This provides builders a way to embed YouTube videos or other file services (Box, Drive, etc.) as a file preview. For security purposes, the only *.quickbase.com URLs that are supported are for code pages. All other native pages (*.quickbase.com URLs) do not function when embedded on a Quickbase form.
I interpret this that it will continue to work after August 21st and that the pop up is a false warning. The concern over iframes had something to do with security but I think they determined that it was only a security risk if you embed Quickbase pages within Quickbase pages.
