    Lightbulb relative hyperlinks

    Hi guys,
    I'm using Access 2007 and I have a lot of hyperlinks to pdfs in my db.
    Some forms use vba code to manage them, so Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) and I can handle the path and delete the absolute part.
    But in some forms the user edit hyperlinks directly and open it directly.. so I cannot change it.



    is there a solution?
    Thanks a lot!

    What are you trying to do? What is your objective? If the User can change it why can't you?

    I want that, if the position of the db changes, all the link still work.
    now all my links are absolute..

    Store the path to the PDF files using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) vs. Using drive letters and mapped drives.
