I want to use publisher to produce a web page on CDROM that can access
document files stored on the CD. This works fine on my home machine but as
soon as I move to another machine the link does not work.

The problem is that it gives the drive letter of my home machine (ie G:\)
rather than that of he destination machine (E:\) - as this could change from
machine to machine is there a way of giving a relative address (ie relative
to the index file)?

Yes, to use relative URL's, under the hyperlinking dialog you do not use the
option to browse to your file. Doing that will write the local absolute
reference. You have to use the web address option and input the URL
yourself, such as "myfile.doc".
