I developed a database that includes using DoCmd.RunCommand
acCmdInsertHyperlink to link to a file on the network. The file was stored
in My Documents. I split the database, and still it worked as it should. I
moved the mdb file (the data) to a network folder (the mde file is on my
local machine), and the wheels came off. I can open the Insert Hyperlink
dialog, but it seems to assume that the starting location is My Documents
(the Add Hyperlink starting location is the folder containing the data file,
but any attempts to link to a file in that folder leave out any network path
information). Other network paths are truncated so that server information
(UNC path) is missing. Also, percentage signs and numbers (such as %20) and
other rubble occupy what were formerly spaces and other non-alphanumeric
charachers in the file and folder names.
Can anybody tell me what happened?
