No clarification yet, but I’ll add a comment anyway. Apart from authority, what about ‘permissions’ for the “share” definition itself?

Not sure how your program works but perhaps you need to create a folder share to the IFS directory for access outside of the i5.

See if the user can get to the file by using the WRKLNK command. If not, there should be some sort of error displayed. If they can, then I would say that there is something wrong in the link or the way the email program is processing the link.

Okay, it’s a file: protocol link. That helps classify things. Thanks.

Is it like STARGATE is the server, and SENDLINK is the share name, and excel.xls is the file name? (Again, this editor can make these messy to enter and read; so, I want to be clear in what I see.)

With regards to the authority… *ALLOBJ didn’t make a difference. I changed my profile to not have it but I was still able to open the attachment. I have checked all of the directories and made sure that all of them… including the file have completely open authority for ALL users including *PUBLIC.

ok, your right, i should have been more specific. Ops Navigator is what I was referring to. Here is an example of the link that works for me, but not them…

…login to websphere..

First, what is “login to websphere”? Websphere is a blanket name that covers a range of products, a number of which can provide logins.

Second, can you provide an example of an actual link that works for you but not for others? By looking at the structure of the link, things might suggest themselves on areas to review. (Note that this editor can really mess up delimiters in links.)
