Michel,

the "PDF directory" setting is not relevant here as long as you put
your links in the "file" field. For the file directory, there are both
global settings and bib-file-specific settings, and the
bib-file-specific setting overrides the general one. Can you confirm
that the problem is still there when you have set the "File directory"
under "Database properties" to ".\articulos"?
