We want to move from Windows to Linux. We built a Linux server. We created a Samba drive that can be accessed from both Windows and Linux.
We built a report using RichClient with Excel data data source on the Samba drive.
The Path for the Excel data source looks like this: \\SMB\Shared\test.xls (in RichClient). We tried to enter the path in all variations of Unix-like formats (i.e. //SMB/Shared/test.xls, etc.). The RichClient lets us do it but when we open the report it changes the path back to the Windows format.
When we save it to the repository (Linux) it cannot figure out the path because of the backslashes.
Is there a way to make it work?
