Hi, I have an Access database that we use to manage pupil assessments and associated video evidence (among other things). The way that it works is that teachers comment on a pupils progress in relation to a target and then add a hyperlink using a hyperlink field to the video file stored on a server on our local network. The video shows how the student completed the task, how much help, how fluent etc.
This generally works fine, however, we are in the process of moving from local network storage to a cloud based solution and considering using office 365 and the Stream app in order to store and share video evidence.
I would have thought the hyperlink field would have worked in the same way - paste in the Stream URL and the user clicks the hyperlink and a browser pops up with the video, however, when I do this I get the message "Unable to open 'URL address' Cannot download the information you requested". This happens when I click on the hyperlink in a form. A hyperlink to the launch page of Office 365 stream works fine from the same form. If I export a report to pdf and click the hyperlink there are no problems opening the hyperlink.
Anyone got any thoughts on why I might be encountering this problem. I'm a self taught entry level database designer and I'm expecting lots of people to chastise me for using a hyperlink field for reasons I'm not yet aware of.
If anyone has any alternative suggestions for how I might be able to link scores and progress comments to video files they would be very welcome.
Many thanks in advance.
