Send Blinged-Out UNC Path
Hi All,
I was just wondering... If I send an UNC path to a file or folder on our LAN to another department, assuming that the file or folder is accessible from that department, what will it look like in the recipient's message? Is there anything I can do to "pretty the path"? I was hoping to make it so that a simple click by recipent will open the file folder directly from Oulook, sparing them a manual copy of path into address bar of Explorer. Also, if this is true for Outlook, is there MIME format that will make same thing work if one of our clients, who has access to our VPN, clicks on the path, but is using a different mail reader? TIA, -Le Chaud Lapin-

I was hoping to make it so that a simple click by recipent will open the file folder directly from Oulook, sparing them a manual copy of path into address bar of Explorer. I find UNC paths to be clickable in Outlook. I specify \\server\share\folder1\folder2\file works just fine for my recipients. If the path contains spaces, then \\server\share\Folder 1\Folder 2\file works. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
