[AccessD] universal hyper link to backend

Hi John

You can use the double-dot syntax for referencing parent directories.
If "easilook backend" folder and "easilook front end" folder are sister directories then your frontend (which location you easily can find) can reference the Excel file:

  "..\easilook backend\qfd software.xls"

i have a excel file that is stored in the backend but would like to hyperlink to from the front end that is stored in a different folder.   If the back end is moved, after the front end relinks to the back end tables be able to then have the hyper link work. I though that there was a way using UNC, am I wrong?

file    "qfd software.xls" is stored in "easilook backend" folder and is linked from "easilook front end" folder

any ideas?

John
