I click links from e-mails and it pulls up locate link browser?

[Guest]

It did not use to do this. If there was a link in an e-mail I could click on
it and it would go there. Now it pulls up a window like I'm going to locate
a file and says" Locate Link Browser" What setting has been changed?
Thanks, Tim

There are a couple of things to try...

1) make sure you are not using target="_blank" in your link
2) write a script that accepts a url in a querystring and then redirect
to that...

<a href="playVideo.asp?url=[YOUR URL HERE]">mylink</a>

playVideo.asp
<%
Dim myVideoURL
myVideoURL = request.QueryString("url")

Response.redirect(myVideoURL)
%>

This worked well for me; I was trying to access a .wmv on our media
server.

Hope it helps...
