Similar to what the first poster said, you need to have the specific computer listed in the case that it is a network file. If it isn't a network file, then the other files are called using their directory address. In this case, the files have to either be in the same directory on each computer or you have to re-link the files on each computer or device (USB drive) so that the directory is the same.





An example directory is:


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ My E-Book.pub





In the case of the above directory, your files are stored there and thats where you look for them. Relating it to real world, its like if you had a friend that lived in a mobile home. If he is in a Mobile home park you can find him by the address he is always at, but if you look to find him on the road you need a new address to locate him at. Hope this makes sense.
Reply:As you have moved the files to another location the original links refer to when they were on your original computer. The path/drive has obviously now changed so you need to update the links. They are trying to link to a file on another computer which it cnanot reach unless you are networked, which I guess you are not.
Reply:You may need to include the machine name of the specific PC in the hyperlink. That is, the PC that you have transferred the file to.
