Drag and drop link problem?

Okay, weird one of the day.

Every time I used a OneNote link to open an InDesign file (CS4) located on
our network storage, eventually InDesign would crash, particularly if I
clicked on an image with text wrap. Very disconcerting. So, I deleted all the
links to InDesign files in my OneNote pages.

Then, I remembered that all those links had been created by dragging and
dropping onto a OneNote page. As a test, I recreated the link to one of the
crashing InDesign files using the Hyperlink command in OneNote -- no drag and
drop. I then used the link to open the InDesign file, worked on it for quite
a while without any problems and no crashes, including the image with the
text wrap. Hmmmmm. . . . could it really make a difference how the hyperlink
is created?

Oh YES !

If the hyperlink is created by using ONs own GUI then only ON
participates in this action.

But if you use Drag&Drop two parties are involved in using a special
Windows communication protocol behind the scenes:
A drag source (InDesign in your case) and a drop target (ON in your
case). So InDesign could have a bug ...
