Hyperlink limitations

I am "Pasting as Hyperlink" to a block in my
drawing and my path to the file has a pound symbol (#) in the path.  I have
found out that the "#" symbol is the source of my problem when I try to activate
or "open" the hyperlink.  It actuallly doesn't work, and I get an error
dialog box stating, "The system cannot find the path specified".  Are there
any other symbols that I should consider a problem with respect to paths to
files?  Also, is there any escape character that I could place in front of
these symbols to make the hyperlink read the character literally, just like we
do for lisp?

I think the problem in your case is that the "#" is
a "bookmark" in html


style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">

Hi

I’m having problems with hyperlinking on a drawing to hyperlink to a drawing in my Standard folder. The error message comes up with (THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE PATH SPECIFIED) when I try open from the hyperlink I set up

 

I have just upgraded to AutoCAD 2012 from AutoCAD 2004, where I set up the hyperlink up fine with no problems on the older version, I have also had Windows 7 installed but doubt that that has any effect.

 

Please could you give me the info to this problem and or direct me in the correct path?
