IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Access Client Solutions - Hot spot - no message when file not found

If you have a screen with a hotspot and the file does not exist then you don't get a message that the file does not exist.

For example then you click on the hotspot:
FILE://myServer/drawing.pdf
and drawing.pdf does not exist on myServer you are not getting a message that the file does not exist. Actually nothing happens and you are just sitting waiting for the file to be shown.


Use Case:

When a user clicks on the hotspot a message should be shown that the file does not exist. Thus they don't have to wait unnecessarily.
