Linking to File

[Erluk9]

Hello All,
time for round # 2 of questions.

I'm trying to insert a hyperlink to an external file which is an XLS.
i use the interface chose file, browse to the file and insert it. when i get prompted to copy the file in to the project folder i say yes.
i use the preview feature in RH (CTRL + W) and the link works fine. The problem is when i generate the flash help,
the link does not work on single click. if i do right click save as works fine.
when i hover over the link it shows "file:///C:/outpufolder/filename.xls" with no spaces and/or special characters. the only difference i see is that in the preview the link shows "file://filepath"
what would cause that third slash to appear in the final product?

any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to our community, Erluk9

My guess is the difference in link slashes or whatever is simply a red herring. Odds are you are experiencing an issue impose by the Mark Of The Web option. With MOTW enabled, links to other content will fail when you test locally. The good news is that once you deploy to a server, the issues vanish.

Cheers... Rick
