I've seen several posts on this topic over the years, but I can't find any of them. [+o(]

What is the method/format to create a link in a PB that will open a file (DOCX, XLSX, JPEG, etc.) on my hard drive?

    I haven't tried it, but create a Hyperlink in your PB document to the file i.e. use the MS Word feature.

    Hi Dave,

    I tried that - regular Hyperlink in Word and it doesn't work.  I looks like a hyperlink in the compiled PB but it doesn't do anything - nothing when you hover over it and nothing when you click or control-click.  I also tried several variations of a PB reference ([[label >> File:///C:\...]]) but I couldn't get any of them to work either.  

    I played with it some more after I posted this and began to remember that I probably saw posts on this topic for note files (which I was able to get to work) rather than PB.

    Sure would like to find a way to get hyperlinks in PBs for local files to work.
