Just to rephrase my question - I have a system where multiple folders are created in my local path based on a Reference ID. Each folder contains an Excel file. I want to display these Excel files to users  in a FORM, allowing them to download the files.

I used Hyperlink command and passed local path but file is not visible to download. Since the file is not in SharePoint or S3 so cant use direct download through URL:  How can I achieve this?

The closest you could do is to read in the Excel file into a Datatable variable, then use the Table object within a Form to display the contents. Otherwise, you could also present the UNC path to the user using a Hyperlink object within the form. The user would then click the link which would cause Excel (or the associated application) to open the file.

Neither of these is exactly what you’re asking for, but might be something you could use.

Hi ​@Aaron.Gleason Thanks for your reply 
How should I add UNC path under Hyperlink , in order to user can click on the link and download a file.

If you’re using a file path like this, try:

file:///c:\user\Test\45-67\test.csv

Yes, three slashes after file:
