Thanks again for this Uwe, now when I click on the link in the PDF, Explorer fires up and loads index.html. All very good, but the trouble is that the drive letter (F:) is hard wired into the link. However, what I want to do is put the PDF file containing the link and the HTML file at which the link points onto a CD, but it doesn't seem possible to use relative paths in PDF links. On the CD the link in the PDF will always point at drive F: which isn't where the HTML file will be (unless by some happy chance all of the people to whom I distribute the CD have drive F: as their CD-ROM drives).
I know this isn't strictly a LyX problem, but any hints on a possible solution would be appreciated. I'm very reluctant to abandon the idea of using a LyX-generated PDF as a 'front page' for my project (it's genealogy, for the family).
