Hyperlinks to files stored on local ntwrk / How can I get them to work 1

[bittorents]

Windows XP Pro environment, Office 2000 Pro, Lotus Notes 6.5.

Is there anybody who can help me to get hyperlinks to work w/in lotus notes? My boss is hammering me. I'd greatly appreciate anybody's help.

Thanks to all in advance!

You should be able to create a link to a document by using a link hotspot

1. Highlight a word/phrase in your doc
2. Create > Link > Link Hotspot
3. Instead of a URL value put in the path to the file

You da man. Thank you sir. Do you know if IBM plans to make a hyperlink option instead of having to go through all of that?

Thanks

Come to think of it, there is another way to do this. Instead of

http://....

you can use file://.... to make a hyperlink.

i.e. file://myserver\mydir\myfile
