Basic ID Question

[rtwdwk]

I want to have a text box that displays a linked file name.
What's the easiest way to do this. I also may only want to use part of the file name in the text box.

I don't have the answer for you but welcome to the forum. Hopefully someone will come along and help you out.

There is a script that can do that.
You can download it and many other useful scripts here

1. select the type you want to make into a hyperlink.
2. open the "hyperlink" pallet, and with the type selected click on the "new link" tab on the bottom.
3. fill out the correct info in the dialog box and you have a one word hyperlink to your desired link.

I'm curious as to how you found this site?

Good point born2print, the specifics would be of interest. I'm being a bit presmptuous.

I googled a few of the former members PPF names.
Got a few hits to this site.
