no browser opens or anything, and right clicking just opens the
"Copy, Save Background as, etc dialog.

Transport Consultants - Project Manager

This appears in the status bar as :

If I copy the Text above (the "Transport Consultant...") and paste
into word, it appears as a hyperlink, and the hyperlink works -
clicking it opens Firefox, and takes me to the site.

I have to following problem - I know this has been done to death recently,
but none of the solutions seemed to work for me.

The links appear as normal in Outlook 2000 - for instance I keep a check on
jobs, and get regular emails from job agencies.

dialog.

word, it appears as a hyperlink, and the hyperlink works - clicking it opens
Firefox, and takes me to the site.

Some addresses (word addresses such as "Transport etc...) don't open
Firefox, but open the "nt" folder in my windows directory. No message as to
why - the folder just opens.


When the address appears in Outlook as a URL as below, it works as it
should. (Some of the links are sent by the job agencies this way, rather
than the "Transport Manager..." format).

http://employment.byron.com.au/tpjob...sp?id=j7681096

Both types "used" to work correctly, but stopped when I installed the latest
Internet Explorer to check out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry about the html format (if you
use text) - it's just to show the links as they appear in Outlook.

Nope - tried that Brian....
