Michael, Instead of using message openfile, try message URL.
message URL W:/Schadstoffliteratur/Dioxine/Attempt to establish benchmarks for Dioxins.pdf You may need to add %20 html syntax for spaces in file names, but I'm not sure. If so, your marker would look like this: message URL W:/Schadstoffliteratur/Dioxine/Attempt%20to%20establish%20benchmarks%20for%20Dioxins.pdf If you are truly going to make hundreds of these markers, you might consider getting TimeSavers and use either the ~FileLink, ~PdfLink, or ~httpLink shortcuts.

I try to make Hyperlinks to open an other PDF on my harddisk. I write: message openfile "W:\Schadstoffliteratur\Dioxine\Attempt to establish benchmarks for Dioxins.pdf" Than Framemaker convert this to: message openfile "W:\Schadstoffliteratur‡ioxine\Attempt to establish benchmarks for Dioxins.pdf" Looking in the MIF I see the following: <MText `message openfile "W:\\Schadstoffliteratur‡ioxine\\Attempt to establish benchmarks for Dioxins.pdf"'> The resulting Link does not work, of course. When I repair the link in the MIF manually, open it in FM, print to PDF, it works fine: <MText `message openfile "W:\\ElbeSchadstoffliteratur\\Dioxine\\Attempt to establish benchmarks for Dioxins.pdf"'> But I may not touch the Link in Framemaker again. I want to make hundreds of similar Links, so I am looking for a solution. How to prevent Framemaker changing the Link?
