Linking to external documents

Hello,

I hope you can help me.

I am using DocBook 5.0 on Windows XP (with FOP) and try to link to an
external (Word, Excel, Text, ..) document.

Linking to an PDF works, but only with drive letter:
  <link xlink:href="c:/user/documents/sample.pdf">Sample.pdf</link>

Removing the drive letter and the link (in AcrobatReader) does not work.

Question: how do I link to an external document with absolute or relative
path and without a drive letter?
Is this a DocBook or a FOP or an Acrobat Reader problem?

THANKS

	Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards
