hyperlink address changes when i save the .ppt file

I've setup a hyperlink and the link address for example is:

\\na-1.bcbsvt.com\Shared\BCBSVT PROJECTS\Active Projects\Active Project
Status Reports\Sandbox\RIM.ppt

(this is a shared networkd drive)

The link works perfect until I save the presentation. At that point the
hypelink breaks and when I go into the hyperlink itself the link address has
changed to:

..../../Shared/BCBSVT%20PROJECTS/Active%20Projects/Active%20Project%20Status%20Reports/Sandbox/RIM.ppt

Can someone please point me to what I'm doing wrong??

Thanks, Glenn
 
Steve,

The hyperlink base in the document properties is blank. I'm using Powerpoint
2003 / SP2

So, what would cause any "space" in my hyperlink filename path to resolve to
a "%20" after I save the doc?

Clearly, having a path with spaces in it is not uncommon.

Thanks, Glenn
 
not sure this is the correct answer.. but it works....

Tools -> Options -> General -> Web Options -> Files -> Update links on save
needs to be unchecked.
