If it's HTML, then you need to set HTMLBody, not Body and use an <a> tag,
just as you would in a web page.

When is an entryid assigned to the item?

Sorry, I came in at the middle of this to cover for Sue while she's on
vacation.

The proper syntax she was referring to is like this:

Item in a folder (note the tilde ~ in front of the specific item name)
<Outlook:Contacts/~Anglo-American School>
Any item <Outlook:entryID> where entryID is the long ID associated
with the item


As shown on the http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links.htm Web page.

When the item is saved.

Ok, how do I code a link back to a specific entryid? Is it just
href=outlook:EntryID ?

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

Yes, if the format of the item is HTML, you'd use a proper <a> tag with an
href:

<a href="outlook:whatever_the_entryid_is">some text</a>
