You can specify a directory relative to the file using File -> Database properties and setting a relative path for "File directory". This will then be valid for this specific bib file. Since you mention "PDF directory" specifically, I should mention that this requires that you are using the "file" field and not the "pdf" field for your links. If not, you'll need to use Tools -> Scan database... -> "Upgrade external links" to move your "pdf" links into the "file" field automatically. -- Morten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
