Hyperlink problems

[gr]

Hi again, there was a database used by a single person.
this database was already fill of data. Then I was asked
to move it to another folder location, split it, make mde,
etc. the database contained 450 hyperlink records. this
hyperlinks are not working anymore.
"Unable to open ..\...\ file name ... Cannot open the
specified file"

So do I have to manually refresh this hyperlinks?? every
time the back end or front end changes the hyperlinks will
fail?

Of course. How would an application know that you moved 1 or more files? The
only way that could possibly happen is if you wrote an application in C or
VB that constantly watched the file system and reported all those changes to
the database field. To my knowledge, nothing like that exists anywhere
except in the file system itself.
