Original Question: I have a folder with many images that I would like to hotlink to objects in a view. I am looking for a script that would allow me to hotlink an object by selecting the desired image file from a dialog box similar to a file open dialog. thanks will sum +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The tools sent work great once you have a path/file entered into a field. Thanks to - John Garcia [jpgarcia@saws.org] View_multilinkdocuments.ave Thanks to - Byron Simmonds [bsimmonds@clara.co.uk] View.multihotink.ave The first is an enhancement of the second. Thanks to - WGeary If you're using ArcView 3.x, you need to add a field to the shapefile .dbf in which you type the path to the image file that you want to link to the specific entity. Then you go to the theme properties for the shapefile, and scroll down to "hot link" In the "field" box, you put the new field with path/filename, and in the "predefined action" box, you specify "link to image file" Hope this helps!
