Hyperlink breaks when there's a space
 

All -

I tried to paste the following link in an Outlook mail, but the link breaks
where the space, between Month Year? This is actually an UNC path to an
Excel file, I can't rename the directory name, I am not the owner. Can you
share with me how I can go around this?

Thanks,

Ben

Hyperlink breaks when there's a space
 

Try using a valid URL, replacing spaces with %20 e.g.

a href ="file://\\SERVER\Path\Month%20Year\SomeExcelFile.xls"
