Hyperlink Problems

D

David

I assign a hyperlink path to a file on a shared directory
and just as quick as it is assigned, it changes and
reverts to something else and becomes useless. For
example:

s:\brochure\company.doc where s is a mapped virtual drive.

This quickly changes to:

.../../../../shared/Brochure/company.doc

What can I do to prevent this? Thanks for anyone's help
in advance.

What it is doing is to change your path to a UNC path. You should not use
mapped drives for paths in Office.
