I'm using ArcPad 7. I have been using a hyperlink field for the past 3 years and it has worked fine. I recently changed the folder configuration for the hyperlinked files so I also changed this value in the attribute field IMAGEPATH.
Now when I use the hyperlink tool, it says can't find "C:\SewerWater\MERW129.pdf". This is the old path. If I id that same feature, the attribute value for IMAGEPATH is "C:\SewerWater\Engineering\Water\MERW129.pdf". I checked the hyperlink property for the layer and it is set to IMAGEPATH. I rebooted the computer thinking maybe it was an issue with memory. I changed the hyperlink field to something else, used the tool, got the expected error, and then set it back to IMAGEPATH (all in an effort to be smarter than the computer). None of these tricks have worked.
Why is the hyperlink tool still using an attribute value that no longer exists?
Here's the answer to my own question: don't use "/" in IMAGEPATH attribute. This was causing the problem. When I calculated all "/" to be "\", the hyperlink tool worked fine.
