We have Arc users who are disconnected from the network all day and others are connected to the network all day. Basically, I want a way to build a smart hyperlink tool that when clicked with look in multiple locations for the hyperlink source.
The feature class has a text field called "DWG" that has the document name in it (i.e. UC-D-0145.pdf). This field will be used for the hyperlink tool.
1. Look to our SharePoint Site (if not there), then:
2. Look at our network L drive (if not there), then:
3. Look at the local computer drive C.
All three of these locations are set up the same:
<sharepoint website>/ts/gt/DwgsMisc/<document name>
L:\TS\GT\DwgsMisc\<document name>
C:\TS\GT\DwgsMisc\<document name>
Any ideas on how to accomplish the task above?
Thanks in advance!!
so something like the code sample that you can use in field based hyperlinks?

you would have to write your own code though... python has try-except blocks that when used with a time test, might work
