Hyperlink in UNC format

J

John Waller

How can I insert a hyperlink in UNC format via the browse option in the
Insert Hyperlink dialogue box i.e. without actually typing the full UNC link
reference?

e.g. instead of c:\my music\song.mp3

I want the format in the hyperlink field to be \\server\c\my music\song.mp3

Hi John,

I'm away from a network just now so I can't test this for myself, but
here goes:

1) Start browsing from My Network Places rather than from My
Computer\C:\

2) Alternatively, browse as now and then run an update query to replace
"C:\" with "\\server\c\"

Just to confirm, browsing through My Network Places works as advertised.
