Hi Meghan,

A few questions for you:

 

What type of document are you hyperlinking too, what is the file extension?

 

Where is the file located, on a local machine or on the internet?

 

What is your ultimate goal for doing this? Are you trying to preview something in ArcCatalog?

 

I am thinking that it may depend on the program/file extension associates for each device that is accessing the link.

Subject: [CTGIS-L] Set a hyperlink to open in ArcCatalog

 

Hello and good morning!

 

I was wondering if any of you fine folks might know a way to launch a hyperlink from a document (spreadsheet/word doc) and set the target to open the file path in ArcCatalog rather than file explorer.

 

Thanks,

Meg
