Can anyone suggest a method in Lotus Script to create a Doclink or Hyperlink to an external file, say C:\temp\myfile.doc.

I have been trying without success using NotesRichTextDocLink. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Ricardo. I am trying to create a doclink that appears the same way as when you manually choose Create>Hotspot>URL or Create>Hyperlink but can’t seem to find a way to do it?
