Default OL2007 and Outlook URL [ outlook:\\public%20folders\.. ]

Links attachment are not supported.

The outlook protocol only works within outlook - it won't hyperlink in
outlook automatically but if you use the hyperlink button and paste the path
from the web toolbar, it will open the folder in a new outlook 2007 window
when you click the link in an email in outlook.

To do this, copy the path from the web toolbar. Go to the Insert tab on the
ribbon, click Hyperlink and paste the path into the hyperlink field.

| /select foldername

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

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

| 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
