I have a course with 10 modules in it. I have a large sound file which all the modules use. I want to place the sound file in the root of the course instead of having to have this large file in each module. Does anyone know what the path to the file should be to access the root of the course?[:confused:]

Google relative addressing Sam, this references files relative to the page you are viewing. Then it will link OK.
Absolute addressing is to be avoided like the plague!!
Once you understand the concept it is very simple
