Hi I hope someone out there can help me.

I have a 2000 native environment with shared data drives. The users
are using Outlook XP or 2000.

If, in Outlook mail composition window, the user tries to attach a
document on the shared drive as a shortcut, the target file will
disappear from the shared folder!!

To clarify, the user opens Outlook, clicks New email, clicks the Attach
button, finds the document they want and clicks insert as shortcut.
The shortcut icon appears as an attached file. The user sends the
file. When the receipiant receives the file, they see the shortcut on
the email. Double clicking the shortcut returns a file not found
error. Subsiquent browsing to the file via windows explorer shows that
the file has disappeared!

I've spoken to a few people and no one has heard of this happening
before. Any help anyone can offer would be very appreciated. Please
contact me if you require more information.

Regards
