MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / November 2004Launching a hyperlink
I have a hyperlink that will not launch the file it's attached to. I can right click the hyperlink and save as but when I click on the hyperlink text it will not open the file. Any idea what's wrong? Carefully check the path, the file name and if there are any uppercase letters that shouldn't be there. Also, was the file uploaded to the website.

Just so you know where I'm coming from this is the first website I have ever designed. The file I want to launch is located in the same folder as my publisher file. I linked the text in the website to the word document in the same file. When I preview the web design and try to open the document nothing happens, however, I can right click the text and save the file. Since I can save the file I know the path is correct, how do I make sure the file is uploaded? > Carefully check the path, the file name and if there are any uppercase > letters that shouldn't be there.

Just the html, gif (and other image files) and any files you want to link to. To verify the file was uploaded, just upload it again. If it isn't there, it will do it without confirmation. If the file is there, a window will pop up asking you if you'd like to replace it. You can say yes or no.

Now that you re-worded this I realize you are speaking of the external file issue. Well documented in numerous posts in this forum and the faq page - http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 If you want to link to a file outside the publisher document (an external file) then you have to manually upload that file to the web server and then hyperlink to it's url.

Any idea what's wrong? What kind of file? Perhaps you don't have a program associated to that file type. Or perhaps the browser blocks it. What browser is it? And what version of Publisher is the site in? David Bartosik www.publishermvps.com > I have a hyperlink that will not launch the file it's attached to.

So I have the latest version of Internet Explorer and Publisher 2003. > What kind of file? > Perhaps you don't have a program associated to that file type.
