Dynamic Hyperlinks

[Pete O]

How do I modify hyperlink properties to link to the most recent copy of a file?
IE:
julyreport.doc
Augreport.doc
Septreport.doc etc.
The file is located on a shared server path.

Hi Pete,

I hate to tell you this, but that isn't "a" file. It's "three" files. IOW,
the most recent copy of WHAT file?

Now, assuming that you're using this naming standard to create versions of a
file, you would need some server-side programming to do what you want. This
could be done using ASP, PHP, or whatever server-side programming technology
is available on the server. Your hosting company could tell you.

How about posting the file twice--once to a filename that
is always the current version, and then to a filename that
is the archived copy? If you are not archiving the copies,
then simply overwrite the most recent file with the new
info. (I don't know scripting--that's how I come up with
these weird ideas!) If you are archiving all copies, simply
create a page with links to all the filenames that you'll
use that year. Obviously if they click on a link beyond the
current month, they'll get a file not found error message.
