Hyperlink inside Journal body to file on system?

[Sage Cowsert]

I'd like to insert a hyperlink inside the body of a journal to a file on the
users system.

If I type this (see below) it automatically links to google.
myitem.Body = "http://www.google.com"

If I type (see below) It links until the space?
myitem.Body = "file://C:\My Stuff\testing\log.txt"

How can I do a hyperlink in journal?

More than likely you need to use HTMLBody with "<a href=""file://C:\My Stuff\testing\log.txt"">My file label</>"
I've never tested HTMLBody with the Journal entries but it might work. It works for MailItem types.

Hi Sage,

please try file:/// (3 slashes) and mask each space with %20, e.e.:

file:///c:\my%20stuff\testing\log.txt
