forward slash as part of a path link

[mickey9999]

Here's a good one....
Some goose has named a folder "Australia/NZ" as part of a group of folders. Nice and descriptive, BUT when it is used in the path part of a link, it thinks that NZ is a subdirectory of Australia, when it's actually the same folder. I've tried / instead of the slash, but the path still tries to split Australia and NZ.
There are many links to this folder through other means, so renaming the folder is not really an option I would like to do.
Thanks in advance...

Which operating system? Windows doesn't allow slashes in folder or file names. For any flavour of *nix, you should be able to create an alias for the folder and use that.

I'm using Win 2000 on a network and the folder exists as part of our outlook bulletin boards.
The link is as follows: &quot;<A HREF=&quot;outlook://Public Folders/All Public Folders/AUSTRALIA/NEWZEALAND/BulletinBoards/&quot;>Bulletin Boards</A>&quot; There are many other similar links that work, it's just this one with the slash between Australia and NewZealand that I'm having problems with.

Ahh... Bugger.

Is there any way you could set up some sort of alias? So that hitting &quot;Public Folders/All Public Folders/AUSTRALIA_NEWZEALAND/BulletinBoards/&quot; would get you to the same place.

Not much of an outlook guru I'm afraid.

Thanks anyway. I'll look at the alias naming.
