Hi Jamie,
MapInfo will only write in the .TAB file the information related to the first
designated HotLink field, and this even though you have properly checked the Save
options to table metadata option every time you created one.
Here's a way of creating as many hotlinks as desired :
1. Make sure to check the Save options to table metadata option;
2. Open your table's .TAB file in any text editor
3. Cut and paste the metadata related to the HotLink function as many times as you
need to use it and modify the identifier AND the name of the field containing the URL
or path. See example below:
"\ActiveObject1" = ""
"\ActiveObject1\Expr" = "MyField_1"
"\ActiveObject1\Mode" = "HOTLINK_MODE_OBJ"
"\ActiveObject1\Relative" = "FALSE"
"\ActiveObject2" = ""
"\ActiveObject2\Expr" = "MyField_2"
"\ActiveObject2\Mode" = "HOTLINK_MODE_OBJ"
"\ActiveObject2\Relative" = "FALSE"
"\ActiveObject3" = ""
"\ActiveObject3\Expr" = "MyField_3"
"\ActiveObject3\Mode" = "HOTLINK_MODE_OBJ"
"\ActiveObject3\Relative" = "FALSE"
Save the .modified .tab file and enjoy!
Hope this helps!

Objet : MI-L More than 1 hotlink
Hi Everyone
I have created a hotlink for photographs stored in a database, I have
checked the File locations are relative to the table locations check box.
This works Ok
I also want to create a hotlink for word documents. Am I right in saying it
is only possible to have one hotlink. I have tried using an expression
Photograph + " " + FileLocation
But get the following error
File c:\map\14.jpg 14.doc Not found
It as found the path for the first one but in the second instance it just
puts the document number with no path.
Is there a way to reference both documents on the same hotlink
Thanks
Jamie
