    TipTip:

    Displaying hyperlinked documents: Hyperlinks in ArcPad are links to external programs. They are not opened directly in ArcPad. If you specify a Web address as a hyperlink, you must start the address with http://—for example, http://www.esri.com. ArcPad then launches your default Web browser and displays the Web page, if you are connected to the Internet. If you specify a photograph or video as a hyperlink, ArcPad will launch the associated program that will then open the document

    TipTip:

    Troubleshooting hyperlinks: Hyperlinks will fail to launch for one of the following reasons:

    • There is no program associated with the hyperlink file.
    • The associated program cannot find the file.
    • The Web address does not start with http://.
    • The Internet connection is unavailable.
