Ok, obviously I'm an idiot, but I can't figure out how to get an image link to work in the Items module.  I set up the link and file location (its a .gif) but when I click the camera button all that happens is that Internet Explorer opens up and runs a search on my file name.  Am I trying to use an EVO thing in DBA or is there a setting I'm missing.  At one point I did get a file to show up, but it hasn't worked since.

Here - here.....Clean, short names work best.....Also watch the selection for using the global path if you are using a different directory for the link...If you say yes to the Global, but have the link in a separate directory, it won't look for it there.
 
We simplified the links by using  (X):\dbamfg\links as the Global - pictures of parts are  xxxxxx.jpg    drawings are dwg.xxxxxx.pdf (pdf's prints are smaller and everyone can view them)      etc.    That way you can always use the global directory, otherwise you have to type in the full path in the file name.

If you open up windows explorer - check out the file association for the type of file you are looking at (.gif)....find the file, highlight it and right click and select properties.  the second line down should tell you "opens with"....if you don't want it to be IE, click on "change" and select the application you want to use (make sure "always use..." is checked) and it should use that program from now on to open gif files.

Sounds like you are describing the IN-B links screen....lets see....
 
OK - assuming you have just one link for this part.....(although you can certainly have more than one)
On the links screeen, the Order will be 1; the link will be the file name (xxxx.pdf); select Y for global path; make sure the global path points to the directory where your links files are; File associations should be I not O (this uses the windows default associations, otherwise O overrides them);  The other field can be blank.
 
As long as windows is set to associate .pdf files with acrobat reader....it should work
 
Note - if you global path is something strange, you either have to find out from Lynn where that setting is (I forget) - or you can just move the files into the global path directory.
 

actually the I is for File Asscociation. which uses the default program that your individual pc uses to open that file type. aka, Adobe pdf reader for .pdf.
 
so, using the I then make sure the Other field is Blank.  
 
if you're still having difficulties shoot me an email to contact you, i'll help you fix it.
