I have a document on my hard drive and wish to simply create a link to
that file which is then placed in the 'Notes' field of a typical Outlook
Contact.

Why is this so difficult to do? There is no 'link' option for a specific
file, just web pages. If I manage to copy a short cut to the Notes field,
it is blocked as a potentially dangerous file. (Dangerous file - do not
feed?)

It is possible to be able to click on a short cut which would then open a
simple Word doc? _I don't want to copy_ that Word doc to Notes because it
will change from time to time and I do not wish to update both files. Is
this just me ... or is this unnecessarily difficult?

Thanks, DH
