Launching a link from a Power Apps button

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 332

I'm having trouble using a button to launch a link to a PDF document in SharePoint from a Power Apps button. I've done it several times before, but this one particular link is not working.

 

The OnSelect property of my button is:

 

Launch(https://**** link to my pdf document here*****)

 

The "https:" in the link is underlined and an error warning says "Name isn't valid. https is not recognized."

 

I can Ctrl+click the link in the Power Apps function bar, and it works, but clicking the button does nothing.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
