Hi there,

I have the following hyperlink in my table:


E:\Projects\Active\02_Section12\8334_2008-0364_S12_HbRf-083_Jackfish\Artifact Catalogue\Artifact Photos\Cat_1869.jpg (file:///E:/Projects/Active/02_Section12/8334_2008-0364_S12_HbRf-083_Jackfish/Artifact%20Catalogue/Artifact%20Photos/Cat_1869.jpg#)

This opens up in Internet explorer with a red x...

Your hyperlink (not the viewable part) shows incorrect slashes. You currently have (as the link):
file:///E:/Projects/Active/02_Section12/8334_2008-0364_S12_HbRf-083_Jackfish/Artifact%20Catalogue/Artifact%20Photos/Cat_1869.jpg (file:///E:/Projects/Active/02_Section12/8334_2008-0364_S12_HbRf-083_Jackfish/Artifact%20Catalogue/Artifact%20Photos/Cat_1869.jpg)#

It should be

file:///E:\Projects\Active\O2_Section12\8334...etc. using BACK SLASHES in the file part of the URL, not forward slashes.

I have fixed them but it still opens up internet explorer with a red x
