In reporting services I have reports which contains links to attachments:

-When i using IE11 and clicking links everything is working fine

-but when i do the same in edge we have no reaction, when we clicking open in new tab, We only see error about:blank#blocked

-when we export reports to excel and click link, everything is working fine too

links to attachments looks like file://servername/folder/folder/attachments.xls

any ideas how to solve that problem ?

  • There are lots of posts about this. All common new browsers (Chrome, Edge etc) no longer support opening network files from hyperlinks.

  • Not that I know of otherwise I would have actually posted an answer. If you read all the threads on the topic there does not seem to be a way round it.

  • If it is a file in the intranet area, you can try to set it through IntranetFileLinksEnabled policy. Otherwise, as already mentioned, modern browsers do not support it due to security issues.

Change the links in your site to "ms-excel:ofv|u|file:///NameOfServer/NameOfFolder/mytest.csv" instead of "file://NameOfServer/NameOfFolder/mytest.csv". Taken from https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2261689-how-to-open-a-local-shared-file-in-chromium-edge.
