hello, all: First I would like to thank for Lawley, Russell S and christian.cattaneo for their useful answers to my previous questions on creatin a CD. However, "File ca not found" problems still exists for the hotlinked files.
what I did is put workspace file the top most folder "MapData", and put all related files in its subfolder, and then change the absolute path to relate path use notepad for workspace file, i.e. ".\TAB\*.Tab". For TAB files, it seems relative path works pretty well. However, for those hotlinked files, Mapinfo can not recognized the relative path at all, the way I did create a column wich contains the relative path to those hotlink files, for examples ".\Hotlinks\PDFs\filename.pdf", it can not work at all. The only way I can make it work is give the full path, like "C:\Mapdata\Hotlinks\PDFs\filename.pdf", however, this will require user to extract or copy all the files in CD into his C drive which is not preferred. I also tried other ways to make it possible to read all the files on a CD, since it's impossible to predict the label No, so I have to create lots of CDs with different Drive No. for those hotlinked files, like: D:\Mapdata\Hotlinks\PDFs\filename.pdf E:\Mapdata\Hotlinks\PDFs\filename.pdf F:\Mapdata\Hotlinks\PDFs\filename.pdf It works but make me feel stupid. Anybody else have gone through the same problem and would like to suggest me the right way to make it happen by using relative path for those hotlinked files? many Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
