Link to files

[Dave]

Hi

New to FP

I've created my data on 600 Html Docs on my harddrive c:\data..

How can I make a main menu page that has a dropdown menu so I can scroll to
the doc I want and when I click That doc it "opens in a new window", to
quickly access those pages.

Thanks in advance

Dave

Here's one way.

The results you get may depend on what you mean by "HTML docs". A file containing HTML is
usually referred to as a page. Docs are usually understood to mean something like a Word
file, for instance (but not by everybody).

So an HTML page will display in a browser, a Word doc may (if the user has Word installed)
display in Word, in the browser, or (if no Word) may prompt the user to download.
600 items in a dropdown seems like way to many to be useful. Consider some kind of
grouping of your files (recipes, car tips), and have each group in a separate dropdown.
