Hi Manisha,
You have to specify a path to the file using the moviePath or using @/
pathname operator, these commands defines the path to the current movie’s
folder. You don't have to specify absolute paths like D:/mypage.htm or
E:/mypage.htm.
for example, If your CD rom drive is D:/ and and the CD contains dir file
and html file mypage.htm at the root. the moviePath command gives you "D:/"
from your dir file.
so, concatenate the html filename with the the moviePath command to open the
file.
gotonetpage the moviePath & "myPage.htm" will always open from the cdrom
drive
Are you using gotoNetPage command to open the html files?.
I will able to understand what you are trying to do if you can send me your
script.

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> opening file from Cd
| Hello Ramesh,
|
|Thanx for replying. My dir and HTML files are on the cd but if i dont give
the option of drive letter then the system tries to locate the html files on
the c drive ( the default location of the browser) and if there is an html
file by that name , it opens that.
