Default Relative Links

Issue regarding Relative Links.
My input is displayed as this when I map to my subfolder and double click
the link I want to add as a hyperlink. "New Folder\Book1.xls"
However when I save this .vsd as a webpage I get an error cannot find path.
Obviously I wish to use relative rather than absolute links. When I do use
absolute linkes ie " C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\New
Folder\New Folder\Book1.xls there is no issue. Can some please advise why the
relative link appears not to work? I am saving as XML and not SVG.
Thank you in advance.

I have manged to open the doc in a new window using the absolute path and
changing the default false to true in open window section of the shape sheet.
I would dearly love for this to happen with absolute paths.
Thank you in advance.

I had to do this.
Copy the relative path address it gives you. Uncheck the relative block,
delete the new address, Paste the relative path back in, (do not check box)
then save. See if that helps.

OK Try this (think I got it):

add ..\ in front of the default relative path.
