How do you include a space in a hyperlink?

[franklin97355]

I need to create a hyperlink to a directory that includes a space in it's name but the hyperlink stops at the space (making the link incorrect) Is there a way to tell Outlook that the space should be included? I tried %20% but that didn't work. Thanks for the help.

try inserting this for your space

Thanks for the response. It does not work either.

Trying placing the following characters before and after your hyperlink < >

So the link would show

<file://P:\My Folder Name>

instead of

file://P:\My Folder Name

troyu, That didn't work either. (but thanks for trying)Perhaps I'm not being clear. I am trying to point to a folder on the server.
\\edu\shared\this folder
but the hyperlink stops at \this then 'folder' is regular text.

Key in the hyperlink as follows:

<\\edu\shared\this folder>

troyu, <\\edu\shared\this folder> does not even create a link. Nothing is highlited. Sorry.

What version of Outlook are you using?

You are trying to place the hyperlink into the message body of an email?

lose the second % in your first example & try that

eyec, that worked! But while I was trying it I screwed up and typed \\edu\shared\thisfolder then went back to the line and added a space. It didn't break the link and worked. Go figure. Thanks all for the help.
troyu, Outlook 2003 and yes, that is what I was trying to do. (send a link to a folder on the server to a user)
