Hyperlink from Frame to Folder in Network

[Michael Müller-Hillebrand]

Gary,

Just use forward slashes in pathnames. FrameMaker reserves certain letters in combination with a backslash for special characters. I seem to remember that \f is used for the florin character (a cursive f).

I am using the following to create the link, "openlink X:\filename.pdf" and it works every time from wherever my first frame/pdf document is located to the second frame/pdf document. My problem comes when I try and write to a folder beyond the root of any directory. When I write "openlink X:\foldername\filename.pdf" the second backslash changes to some other character when I select "edit hypertext" and when the pdf file is generated, the link is not functional.
