Default Links work on computer but not on network.

You did not mention the part about saving the Visio drawing as a webpage. I
just tested it with Visio 2007 on a Windows XP box using IE8 as the browser
and it still worked. Before you save the file as a webpage do the hyperlinks
work? I think %20 may represent blank spaces in your path’s name. What
version of Visio are you using and what is the service pack level? There are
a few issues that mention this type of error when converting Visio files to
webpages however your issue seems to have more to do with the way IE deals
with the path.

Well, I have full rights on the network and I created the folder. I've been
using the address all along even when it was on my computer. I save off every
visio file and then resave it as a web page, then I just browse and find the
proper htm file for the link. When I hit the links I get an IE error stating:
"Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site. File blah blah (ith a bunch
of those %20's in between the words on the path) .htm Operation Aborted.

It should work provided you have the proper permissions to the folders. Since
the files are no longer located on the computer you should be using the
Address box. Enter the path to the share and include the name of the file
with the extension.

I'm building process maps. I'm using shape links to go to other maps. When I
first built them on my computer the links worked fine. Now that I've moved
them to their own folder on the network they don't work. I did update all of
the links and used an absolute address for their new location.
