Link to a network path

Please note that official support for this menu version has now ceased. There are still plenty of users, though, and the forum is still running. Some of our long-time users may be able to help you out.

Sorry for this lamers question. For those which don't know you have to write '\' twice. For ex: \\\\network_path\\folder\\test.pdf

Yeah not sure if you know that already, but its called escaping characters. In alot of languages, you place a \ in front of characters you want to be seen correctly inside of a string you're declaring...i.e. \\, \', \".
