My question is as follows.
I am currently experimenting with a bit of freeware supplied by Spatial Plus
called LinkPlus.mbx.
This prog allows Mapinfo polygons to contain/link to any number of extra
files e.g. images, internet sites etc.
The problem is that it works on"short" file path names.
For example it works perfectly when the link field reads
M:\SPATIA~1\VECTOR~1\PROPER~1\LTOLIN~1\LINENP~1\DPs\DP0000~1.TIF
or
\\WCCNTS3\data\SPATIA~1\VECTOR~1\PROPER~1\LTOLIN~1\LINENP~1\DPs\DP0000~1.TIF

however will not work with
M:\SPATIAL DATA\VECTOR DATA\PROPERTY INFORMATION\LTO Linen Plans &
Instruments\Linen Plans\DPs\dp0000578p.tif
or
\\WCCNTS3\data\SPATIAL DATA\VECTOR DATA\PROPERTY INFORMATION\LTO Linen Plans
& Instruments\Linen Plans\DPs\dp0000578p.tif

Unfortunately I am not in a position to be able to re-name or move the
thousands of tif images which we have stored and wish to link to.

The MapInfo 7.0 Hotlink function is not a solution either as the file paths
must reside as an attribute within a table rather than as a linked field
within an Access database.
If you have any comments I would be delighted to hear from you.
