Opening external (non-FM) files from FM

[kitchy]

Hi,

I set up fields through which local (non-FM) files can be activated with the contextual menue (FM4). Although it works fine on Macs, my colleague cannot activate files (located on his own disk) the same way on his PC (Win 98). Strangely enough, when the PC file path entered in FM is copied in a Word document, files can be accessed from Word on the PC. The url.dll file is present.

By the way, is there a simple way to have files accessible remotely from both PCs and Macs despite the fact that file paths are written differently in the two platforms ? (whithout making a web server).

Any solution ? What is missing ?

Thanks for any advice.

NB: I posted this question elsewhere but got no answer.
