Hello Gents, Dwight - I never new about that right-click option to switch between absolute and relative. Thanks for that. All this time I seem to have been had relative addressing checked, although it's never caused me any problems.
Larry - I don't know if this will help, but I tend not to use the drive mapping letters in my links. Mine all start with \\server-name\. If there are spaces in my filename, I don't replace them with %20, but I enclose the address in <angle brackets>. I mention all this because I've never had problems with links in my MLO file. So I was wondering, what happens if you format your link address in the same way as I do? Stéph On Monday, 23 May 2016 19:01:00 UTC+1, Larry Ronsko wrote: > Dwight, thank you for the explanation.
