Is there a way to insert a hyperlink to an attached file in an outlook
email? Say for example, we have a PDF file with information we want a client
to see. However, we would like them to be able to open it while reading the
email instead of saving the PDF file and opening it manually.

Thanks,
Greg

If they have a PDF reader installed and associated with the PDF file type in
Windows, then attach the PDF to the message and all they need to do is
double-click the PDF to read it. They don't have to save it first. If you
are all within the same organization and have access to a network share
containing the PDF file, then include the UNC of the PDF file in the message.
If the PDF file is on a web server, then include a hyperlink to the PDF file.
If you mean you want the attachment to be readable in the Reading Pane, then
Outlook 2007's preview capability is as close as you'll come, but the PDF
reader program must install an Outlook-compatible previewer.

I believe what he wants is the ability to click on a piece of text (in this
case the company name) in the message and have the PDF file come up
automatically. Instead of the recipient finding the attachment and manually
opening it.

I saw where you could hyperlink the text to a location on the email to show
another part of the message. But I believe he wants the PDF file to open up.

Thanks

I covered that already and gave you the conditions under which it will work.
