| The Outlook protocol no longer works outside Outlook. This protocol will

| Using Command lines

| /select foldername

| Starts Outlook and opens the specified folder in a new window.

| Usage:

| "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe" /select
| outlook:calendar

| outlook /select "outlook:Inbox\Old Messages"

Thank you...

You said... "The Outlook protocol no longer works outside Outlook."

Well if the Outlook URL is in the body of an email received in MS Outlook connected to a
MS Exchange Server then I put it to you, that you are IN the Outlook environment not
"outside Outlook". I must also ask why then when I load the Web toolbar and go to the
Public Folder is the Outlook URL prominently displayed ?
Ex; outlook:\\public folders\Our System\Region East\Billing Calendar

I did see...
/x xnkfilename

The problem there is that XNK (link files) are banned by policies so I can send a XNK file
as an attachment and suggest creating a desktop shortcut such as; outlook.exe /x
xnkfilename
Nor can I send a LNK file that contains the above commandline.

So..
How can I send an email message to my remote region that uses Outlook 2007 that will
contain a clickable URL such that then can easily get to the calendar ?

Sending the path (below) just is NOT enough.

public folders\
Our System\
Region East\
Billing Calendar
