Outlook 2007 - send link to network document, rather than document

**Erica** · February 14th 08, 05:19 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook

We email .pdf documents around the office as attachments to Outlook
messages. Users are not diligent about deleting their email and our
email stores are enormous. Is there a way to email a link to a
network document, instead of attaching the actual document? I am
hoping that being able to do so would save space on our server.

Sure, there's a way, but I doubt people will use it. It involves placing
documents on a file server or web server and then typing in a UNC or a
hyperlink to point to the document. Who's going to do that? (Well, I do,
but I'm unusual.)
