Creating document link hotspot

[wagnj1]

using Lotus Notes R5 -

I want to create a hotspot in my email that will act like a hyperlink and open a work document that is in a shared network folder. nothing I do seems to work, if I make the link a URL and then paste the filepath info into the value it tries to open it like a webpage but can't find anything.
Anyone know how to do this nice-and-fancy-like?

If you have the designer client installed you can compose your e-mail and add a hotspot button. When you do this the formula pane will open and allow you to add code to the button.

To run a file in a shared folder use the following:

@Command([Execute];"\\\\Server\\Share\\path\\filename")

You need to remember to add a slash before a slash so Notes knows a slash is following.

Hope this helps!
