Link to a file

[James]

I am having trouble linking to a file from one of our servers.

An example of where my file is at
\\server\folder\Geology & Simulation\excel spread sheet.xls

I cannot seem to link to that file with all the spaces that are in my path,
any suggestions?

Thanks

you could try entering the url into the message as (include the < and > )

<file://server/folder/Geology & Simulation/excel spread sheet.xls>

Instead of just pasting the link text, try "Ctrl+K" or Insert/Hyperlink to
open the Hyperlink window, then paste the address into the "Address" box at
the bottom of that window. Click OK. That seems to solve my problem with
the spaces et. al.

I knew it would be something simple thank you for the help.

Enclose the UNC with <>, like this:

<\\server\folder\Geology & Simulation\excel spread sheet.xls>
