/Did not work for UNC filepaths on Windows for me. I added the last Substitute to fix it./ Let([ x = TroiPath; a=FileOrImage; p=Abs(Get(SystemPlatform)) = 1; mr=If(a = "File"; "filemac:/"; "imagemac:/") & Substitute(x; ":"; "/"); wr=If(a = "File"; "filewin:/"; "imagewin:/") & Substitute(x; "\\"; "/") ] ; If( p ; mr; (Substitute(wr; "filewin:///"; "filewin://") ) ) )
