server name
G'Day Patricia,
I would (respectfully) suggest that this is not your problem.
If the Sysadmin implements a policy of consistent mapping across the
organisation then the issue does not arise.
What MIGHT be your problem is bringing this issue to the attention
of whoever can do something about it - there will be a host of similar
problems across the board if inconsistent mapping is permitted.

We have user manuals (each chapter on a separate file) on a server.
We have printed versions in binders for people to use.
I would like to put the name of the file in the footer.
The problem is, the FILENAME field puts in the mapped name, eg., I:\
But some people might map it to another drive.
So when you are looking at the printed documents, people won't necessarily
know where to look.
We want to be able to put in the name that you see when you hover the cursor
above a hyperlink:
\\Server Name\Share Name\the rest of the file name
By putting the FILENAME field inside the HYPERLINK field, I got the format I
wanted. The problem is that the text is hard-coded to the name of the file
when these nested fields are created.
If the name of the file is changed, the hyperlink does change. You can see
it by holding the cursor over it.
But the text that is displayed and printed does not change.
Is there some fairly simple way and fast way I can do this.
I don't want to use VBA. There are almost 200 documents.
It needs to be automatic, that will work after my job ends at the end of
this month, and contractors come and go.
Thanks.
