FrameMaker uses the backslash character in dialogs for specifying
special characters, such as \D equates to a double dagger symbol. To
avoid this, you will need to double up the backslashes, thus:
file:///\\\\xxx.xxx.xxx\\xx\\CORP\\MANY\\DEPTDATA\\xxxx\\xxx_Reference.pdf
FrameMaker historically had multi-platform support, and so all path
names in FrameMaker can be specified using forward slashes, for example:
file://hostname/xx/CORP/MANY/DEPTDATA/xxxx/xxx_Reference.pdf
You may want to consider NOT referencing file content, as some browsers
- Internet Explorer and Google Chrome - can get picky, and fail to
display content. Additionally, spaces and 'extended' characters in path
names can also cause trouble.
I hope this helps.

Hi Guys…something odd.
In the Hypertext dialog box with command Go to URL, I enter
message URL File:///\\xxx.xxx.xxx\xx\CORP\MANY\DEPTDATA\xxxx\xxx_Reference.pdf
When I click the button, it converts to:
message URL File:///\\xxx.xxx.xxx\xx\CORP\smANY‡EPTDATA\xxxx\xxx_Reference.pdf
What’s with …CORP\smANY‡EPTDATA… and how do I prevent it from altering what I’m
entering?
