Is there a way to use relative paths (instead of absolute paths) in the "Hyperlink base" field in Map Document Properties for an ArcMap 10 map document?

(I have "Store relative pathnames to data sources" checked, but somehow I still can't use relative pathnames in Hyperlink base)

Did you check the Making hyperlinks with relative paths link in the help file? Are the hyperlinks truly relative to the location of your *.mxd?

This answer helped me greatly. Just to add on, I'm sending out a map package with an accompanying folder of images. The person receiving these files will only need to update the hyperlink base, correct? edit I understand this question now, and got a true relative hyperlink base working. Thanks again! – ChrisHamby Apr 11 at 15:15
