What's the format of your hyperlink? It should be something like
\\myserver\myshare .
Is the share accessible from the other computers? What error message do you
see?

Thanks,
Frank

I didn't see any error message. The hyperlink just didn't work in preview
mode. I finally figured it out after looking at some other forms. For
network locations, you have to put FILE://server/share/folder/folder. There
is no quoation marks like InfoPath help indicated and the slashes go the
opposite way.
