Default Invalid syntax error on some URL links in OE

Its not clear what you've already done.

See he www.oehelp.com/ielnk.aspx Make sure the path to IE is NOT
the shortened path with the "~"s in it.

Also go to Control Panel | Add / Remove Programs and set the program
access and defaults to IE and OE and see if that fixes it.


Hi Steve

Thanks for your reply. Sorry I'd forgotten that the previous replies on
this thread (including from your good self!) are shown on my machine but
won't be on most peoples!! I've certainly tried everything on that page.

One thing that occurred to me yesterday was that I'd forgotten that I use a
helper program called OE-QuoteFix. It's great for correcting the reply
fuction in OE so that the indentation quote marks are properly displayed.
However I've also realised that it makes some alterations when you view
messages too - I've now stopped that side of its functionality and so far
links have been working fine - fingers crossed this may fix the problem
altogether!! This problem has been going on for about 6 months for me and
because that program just works silently in the background I'd forgotten all
about it!

Cheers

Alan
