Hi all, I’m trying to use Skype from the Contact Card: I’ve added the field “Skype ID” and I’ve added a command button with the code: HYPERLINK(‘Skype:’ + “Skype ID”); The problem is that if I open Explorer manually and I insert the string skype: in the address bar, the system automatically call that ID with Skype. The code HYPERLINK instead does not work because Navision does not recognize the command skype: and does not open explorer…I think that the problem is due to the : character, but I cannot solve the problem. Skype does not install an Automation or an OCX. Does anyone tried to to this (and possibly solved…)? Thanks Marco
Have you try the SHELL function : SHELL(’“c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe”’,‘Skipe:’+“Skipe ID”); Regards,
Confirmed, works! Excellent idea. Saludos Nils
I would be careful with hardcoding that !!! Depending on the language version of your windows, the “Program Files” folder might have a different name. I’m not sure if it works but you should try to use the following code instead: SHELL(STRSUBSTNO(’"%1\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"’,ENVIRON(‘ProgramFiles’)),‘Skype:’+“Skipe ID”);
Wouldn’t HYPERLINK(‘Skipe:’+“Skipe ID”)) work?
I didn’t even try Marco’s initial suggestion using Hyperlink, but can confirm right now that it works… Marco, maybe it helps to install the latest version, I am using version 2.0. Saludos Nils
