Hi,

I have a text file in my Visio project (actually I have more that just text files), that opens in a new window when I click it, either in the presentation mode, or when I save the project as a Web Page. It works fine on my personal computer. I want to be able to open the Web Page on another machine, but when I do that, the text files, or any other inserted document do not open and throws an error. It says Make sure that the path is correct (something in those lines). Now I know why this is happening, but please read on.

I am saving the documents (that I am referring to) in a local folder under Documents\Visio 2013. On my machine, it opens fine, in both Presentation and Web Page mode. But when I transfer the Web Page (with all its supporting files in the folder / directory associated with it) to another machine, it does not open the attached documents. It displays everything else correctly, like the shapes and everything else.

It is my understanding that when I save a Visio project as a Web Page, the documents associated with the project will also be copied to the folder (directory) of that Web Page. Is that not the case? If not, what can I do to fix this?

So it all boil down to this: I want to be able to open the Web Page from another machine, with all the attachments that its Visio counterpart contains, without having to manually re-attach every file on the destination machine.

Thanks!

Nikhil

Hi Nikhil,

Thanks for visiting our forum. I'm glad to here that you have got it figured out. Do you mind sharing more info about it? It'll be benefited to our communicator.

Have a good time.

Regards,

Of course.

I had all the documents (or the files) in a folder, in the root folder that contained the Visio document. It was called "Files" So the hyperlink it was detecting was "Files\[name of the document with extension]" When I moved the web page, from my machine to another (including the source folder for that web page), I simply copied and pasted the Files folder to the root folder of the web page (which is now n a different machine). It worked like a charm :)

Thanks for your support. You guys are doing great.
