Windows Server Forum / Exchange Server / Clients / March 2005sending hyperlink to file in Outlook 2002
Hi, I'm having limited success sending a file link in Outlook. Spaces seem to cause problems. I've tried adding %20 in place of spaces, but that doesn't work. Is there a fool proof way to do this? Thanks! Jeff Hi Jeff, Send the message in Rich Text or HTML format, so that you can customize the link in a string, than let Outlook convert a string to link automatically. Outlook convert a string to file link automatically if it can recognize some keywords, such file://, Http://, etc..however, it sometimes loses characters. Highlight a string, right-click the selected text, and then select "Hyperlink". You can add the file link here. Hope it helps.

Thanks, Pat! I've tried doing that, and it doesn't always work. The closest I can get is sending a link to the folder containing the file. I'm trying to send liks to files on a file server, like: \\server\share\folder%20name\another%20folder%20name\file.ext I've tried copying the path from the address bar, and a few other options. There isn't one way that works all of the time. Thanks again! Jeff > Hi Jeff, > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no > rights.

Hi Jeff, The typical format of a file link is: File://Server Name/Folder Name/file.txt You can add this link to Hyperlink attribute. (Note: not type it in message directly, right-click on a string and select hyperlink) Based on my experience, it would surely work no matter if there is a space in the link. Add <> tag to close the link is also a good workaround ;-) Hope the information helps.
