SYMPTOMS
When you use the HyperLink object to move to a FILE: URL, it does not cause any errors, but it does not appear to do anything.



CAUSE
The API that is used by the HyperLink object does not support the Mailto: and File: links.



RESOLUTION
Use the HyperLink foundation classes, such as the HyperLink Label or the HyperLink button, found in the _hyperlink.vcx foundation class library. These foundation classes support the FILE: links.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Run the following code: ox=CreateObject("hyperlink") ox.NavigateTo("FILE:c:\") RESULT: This code runs without error, but nothing happens.
