Welcome to the forum FrankYou will need to put the drive letter, or at least the path (if you know the temp drive and the EXE are on the same drive), the reason is this is actually the way Internet Explorer works for directories. Without this IE only searches the current directory
So Like this
<A HREF="E:\sample\file.htm">Click Here</A>
or
<A HREF="\sample\file.htm">Click Here</A>
In the next version (4) which we expect to ship before the end of January there are a number nice enhancement on these lines.
We have added the ability to include commands which manipulate the E-Book into links by using the special ## bookmark
For example
<A HREF="##MESSAGEBOX('Hello World')">Display Message</A> displays a message box when clicked
<A HREF="##SEARCH('test')">Click Here</A> - does a search for pages containing test and displays the search results
AND most importantly 3 specific commands
##NAVIGATE - navigate to a particular file in the E-Book
##OPEN - open a page or file into your web browser
##RUN - run a program or command
In all these ## commands you can embed special codes (like the add-ins), for example
{app} is the directory where the E-Book's EXE is located
{appdrive} is the drive where the E-Book's EXE is located
{ebook} is the temp directory
{ebookdrive} is the drive where the the temp directory is
Here are examples of each
<A HREF="##NAVIGATE('{appdrive}:\sample\file.htm')">Navigate</A>
<A HREF="##OPEN('{appdrive}:\sample\file.htm')">Open</A>
<A HREF="##RUN('{appdrive}:\sample\myprogram.exe')">Run A Program</A>
HTH
You're probably itching for the 4 version now We will try and get it out as soon as possible. Obviously we want to test it as much as possible before it goes out
In the meantime, if you post a bit more specifics of wat you're trying to do, I'll see if I can suggest a way to solve it on the current version
Oh, and happy new year
