Off Document reference with relative hyperlinks

[Bert]

Dear,

I creating shapes that have off-page references.

Because the group of people working with it is too large and the visio file
would be too large and difficult to handle, I'm now creating off-document
references to be able to link visio tabs in different visio files.

For this I've used the information on visio insights: going off the page
http://blogs.msdn.com/visio/archive/2006/06/27/647570.aspx

More specifically I've added
EventDrop RUNADDONWARGS("OPC","/CMD=4")
EventDblClick RUNADDONWARGS("OPC","/CMD=5")
in my shape.

The problem is that there is no possibility to say that it should be a
relative path, so that I can give the files in one directory to my colleague
who can use it.

Is there a possibility to add that? That would be a great advantage, because
than the visio processes can be used by multiple people on their local laptop.

Kind regards,

Bert

Try hyperlinks instead
menu Insert -> Hyperlink
Hyperlinks can be any other document and there is a box to tick to
make the link use a relative path.
