Hotlink Error: "Exception of Type 'Forecast5.Model.HotlinkException' was thrown."
Issue:
When trying to setup a second Hotlink record, you receive this error:
Exception of type 'Forecast5.Model.HotlinkException' was thrown.: 'location and name of the hotlink file.xlsx 2". Hot Link error found in 'Record Name'.
Do you want to select a different one?
Cause:
This is caused by adding the same hotlink file twice.
Solution:
Delete both files. Through one record, add the hotlink. In the second record, select the Data Source File from the list and navigate to the rows you wish to import.
