I think I've found a bug in SSRS but maybe it's a configuration issue. Has anyone else had this before?
I have set up an action on a text box to open a file. ("file://somepath/test.txt"). I know the link is correct because I can right-click and copy shortcut, paste it into a new tab, and the file opens fine. When I click the link in the report, however, nothing happens. I have tried both pdf & txt file extensions. I have tried IE8 and IE11. I have run it from several machines including the SSRS server. All instances do the same thing. I've also tried "void(window.open"... That doesn't work either. "http://" works just fine.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Server specs:
SSRS 2012 Native mode
Windows Server 2008 R2
IIS 7? That's the latest manager but I don't see the SSRS site listed there. I'm weak in this area and don't know how to check for sure.
Workstation specs varied since I've tried on quite a few machines.
Thanks.

The issue had nothing to do with SSRS. IE blocks cross-protocol links (http:// to file://) unless the site is on the trusted sites list. Added it to the trusted sites and it works now. I assumed because it was on the Intranet that it would be trusted but apparently not. Or for some reason IE didn't recognize it was on the Intranet.
