I'm trying to build a feedback hyperlink which will pass the title of the report in the Subject line.

I'm using 8.5 and formatting the text box with hyperlink settings as follows:

An Email Address

"mailto:" + EMAIL ADDRESS(S)" + "?Subject=" + REPORTTITLE;

I receive the following error:
"The command line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are using."

Is it even possible to pass Document properties in the subject line? If so, what am I doing wrong?

THanks for any help you can provide...SHIPCD



 
This works for me in 9.0 (inserted using the formula button on the hyperlink information window in the Format Editor).

Substitute a valid email address of course.

"mailto:" + "name@somewhere.com" + "?Subject=" + ReportTitle

I am still receiving the following error:

"The Command line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are using."

We're using an SMTP address book via Outlook. Is there something else which should be used?
