Hyperlink and nested CustomDocumentProperties - Cannot update Fiel

[Alex]

I'm using MS Word 2003.
I would like to create an hyperlink containing some Custom fields in its
address/value. Here is the line I use:
{ HYPERLINK { QUOTE "/test/"{ DocProperty testField }"_file.txt" }}

The above creates an hyperlink with the expected text BUT it will convert my
dynamic filed "testField" into a static value, i.e. the hyperlink text won't
be updated if I change "testField" value in my properties. Any ideas of how
to keep "testField" as a dynamic field in my hyperlink?

Hi Alex,

A field code construction along the lines of:
{HYPERLINK {QUOTE "file://test/{DOCPROPERTY testField}_file.txt"}}
seems to work. I suspect the problem was caused by the HYPERLINK field inserting the 'file:/' prefix. Inserting it yourself seems to
cure the problem (Word 2000).

This doesn't fix the problem. If the document is saved and re-opened the link
has turned to text removing the docproperty reference
