Linking to folder on network

[de Rouck, Tom (Gent)]

Hello Jess,

I think this is what you need:

message URL file:///C:/FOLDERNAME

where "C" and "foldername" should be customized to your situation of course.
Please take into account that the folder is opened in the preferred browser of the user, not in Windows Explorer.

Please let me know if it works.

kind regards,

Tom

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I want to put a hypertext link in my FrameMaker file, so that a reader can click the path name in the PDF and it opens that folder on the network...similar to inserting a Hypertext link in a Word document. Can this be done? I've tried the 'message URL' command and it didn't work, nor did the 'open document' command.

Thanks,

Jess
