This program has piqued my interest - hard to resist for the discounted price.
From the user guide:
Linked Columns
A linked column is designed to hold a reference to another document, file, or web address. When you click or tap on the value in a linked column, your Windows PC or Palm-powered Handheld will attempt to show you the document that the link points to. In order for this to work, the value of the linked column must be:
• A file name
• A web site address (URL)
File names can be either a complete path (c:\My Documents\Fred\products\sales_pitch.ppt) or a partial path, beginning with the folder in which the ListPro file is stored. In this case, if you have a ListPro file in:
c:\My Documents\Fred\products
and PowerPoint presentations in:
c:\My Documents\Fred\products\presentations
then you can name them in linked columns like this:
presentations\product_road_map.ppt
presentations\new_features.ppt
URLs in linked columns must include the prefix (http://, ftp://, mailto:, or file://).
Note that if the file or URL can’t be found, or if the Windows PC or Palm-powered Handheld isn’t connected to a network so that it can reach the file or URL, or if the file type isn’t one that you have software to open (for example, a Microsoft Word file on a machine without Microsoft Word) you won’t be able to see the contents.
You can only add linked columns to a list on your Windows PC; linked columns sync with the Palm-powered Handheld, but their contents are only visible—you can’t open files or access web addresses on the Palm.

Ken, thanks for the info re Listpro.
When Bitsdujour had it on special last week I picked it up for about $10.
