hi

i have the following problem:
i am creating a index notebook for some notebooks that are located in a 
subdirectory (e.g.  /dir1/index.nb points to nb files /dir1/dir2/1.nb 
/dir1/dir2/2.nb) this should be done independent of the topdir everything is 
located in and independent of the operating system used. i use a script to 
generate the "dir" and "name.nb" strings and they are pasted correctly into 
the ButtonFunction.

a friend of mine suggested to use  

ButtonBox["aszdfg",
  ButtonData:>{
    FrontEnd`FileName[ {"dir"}, 
      "name.nb", CharacterEncoding -> "ISO8859-1"] } ,....

however, this does not work. i tried some things and ended with

ButtonBox["open",
        ButtonFunction:>{
          FrontEnd`NotebookOpen[ 
            
            FrontEnd`FileName[ {"dir"}, "name.nb", 
              CharacterEncoding -> "ISO8859-1"]]},
        ButtonStyle->"Hyperlink"]

however, this does not work, either.

is there a clean way to set hyperlinks with relative paths ??

thanks for your help
