Thank you for your input. Unfortunately, these folders are created and maintained by many groups across the corporation. There will no way for me to stipulate and enforce naming conventions that support my needs. However, inserting the %20 in place of the spaces seems to work. Someone suggested encapsulating the path in quotation marks. I thought I tried that, but I'm not sure, so I still have to check that out.
I'm not using the mapped drive letter in the link, instead I'm using the URL. Thanks again all. As always you've been a big help.

Subject: RE: Linking to folder on network Another thing I found when working on network drives at Western Electric/AT&T/Lucent is that the Drive letter that is assigned to the drive needs to be the same on all machines that will be accessing the FrameMaker documents. ****************************************************************** Ann Zdunczyk President, JOAT, SWAG a2z Publishing, Inc.

Why? FrameMaker will interpret backslash sequences as special codes, for example: C:\etc\hosts.fm will interpret the '\e' as a horizontal elipse "...". The fix is to reference: C:/etc/hosts.fm Even though FrameMaker is no longer multi-platform, the recommendations still persist. // Simon BUCH _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
