Adding Hyperlinks to other projects (Merged)

I am running into an issue with adding Hyperlinks to other projects.  I have several projects that I have merged into one Master project.  I have generated all the child projects into their corresponding Merged Project folders in the master file.  All I am trying to do is link one project to another.  So in "Child Project A" I have a hyperlink to "Child Project B". I am linking to a "File" which is Project B's HTML file in the Master Project (Merged Folder).  When I do this, I get a message in project A that:

"This action will create an external link to the help system.  The link may not function when the help system is moved to other systems. Create link anyway?"

So I create the link and generate Project A, but when I generate the Master Project, the link does not work. How do I fix this?  Links that I have to pages within a project work just fine, but not when linked externally even though all the projects linked have been merged within the Master Project.

    The message is normal BTW.

    As long as your structure is as I set out, the links will work in the output.

    See Merged Projects on my site. It is all explained there.

    Thanks Peter!   I tried to follow the PDF help included with the product, but yours is so much more detailed.  I will re-check my project and re-try.

    Cheers!
