include a hyperlink in a Outlook email to Specific Record Access

[LM]

I would like to include a hyperlink in a Outlook email message that includes
a link to a specific record on a specific form in a database.
Is this possible and how do I do this?

Possibly, but you would need to guarantee that the computer with the
database front-end on it would always be available within your own network.

Sharing a front-end is a recipe for corruption. So you shouldn't broadcast
the email.

First create a network share with a UNC path. You would then create the
shortcut to the database using that path, and use an autoexec macro or a
startup form. Have code in the startup form to go to the specific record in
the Open event of the form.

Kludgy, and klutzy, but doable.
