Ok, I dragged a textbox onto one of my existing reports and captured "C:\MyFile.txt" in it.
Then I created the file itself on my C:. In the file I put "asdf" and saved it.
I then went into the properties of the textbox itself and next to the Action setting I clicked on the ellipses.
This opens up a window that asks you what action you want to do.
I ticked, "Jump to URL" and inside the textbox typed in ="C:\myFile.txt".
I then uploaded the report to our dev website. When I clicked on the link nothing happened.
But I was able to right click and "save target as...".
I saved the target file to my desktop, and when I opened it it had "asdf" in it.
So, I know it's linking to the right file, I just don't know why I wasn't able to open it in my browser. Maybe someone can help us with that? 🙂
