[Spook 96]

Hi allBefore i set out on any flight i like to get all the realworld info like route info, weather metar and fuel plan.I then copy this info into notepad for easy refrence.What i'd like to do, is to be able to click the location of my charts and have it pop up, just like linking to a website in the forum, for example.Is this possible?? (Useing notepad)Thanks

Hi.I think not in Notepad as that's ASCII (plain text) only.However, if you have MS Office you could do it in Word (or, I suppose, a similar app) as there you can format text as a hyperlink and make the hyperlink point to the relevant document. Not sure about Wordpad (the sort of half-way house that usually ships with Windows)... give it a go.D

You could do it in HTML and the kneeboard then acts like a web browser.

That sounds interesting, but will i be able to creat a link, that i can click, and open a file on my system?

If you make the links to files in your directories it should work.
