External Links

I have been asked the following, which I couldn't readily answer...

Can a link (I guess a URL) be created from an object in DOORS (v9.2.5 for example) to an entry in an MS Access Database, or any other application (provided the application is available on the server) ?

I gather you can (although I've not tried) create a link from a DOORS object to a MS Word bookmark.

Thanks in advance.

The other application will need to be available on the Client PC executing the link; need not be on the server housing the DOORS service and database.

if you can enter the URL in the start > run > prompt and it loads fine then it should work via an external link as well
