Welcome to WebmasterWorld sashark. What are you using for mail? I'm assuming that your mail program (or the recipients) simply isn't making the entire path a link. There's not much you can do to control that within the text body. An alternative might be to make a shortcut link on your Windows desktop. Then attach that file to the e-mail message. The file will have the extension .lnk. The problem is that your e-mail and virus software may not like this file type. I find the simplest way to handle this is to put the entire path on its own line, or paragraph in the e-mail. Then I clearly explain that the entire path must be copied and pasted into Windows Explorer.

Hey Bill. Thank you for your quick post. Appreciated. Yes, as you've guessed the extension .lnk doesn't come through the anti-virus.
I'll have to go with pasting the entire path on its own line and making it clear that the entire path has to be copied and pasted into Windows Explorer. I was hoping there might have been some fancy way around this, but sometimes the siplest way is still the best way!
Cheers

Assuming that you can send html messages, you can still create a link thus.
<a href='"path"'>click here</a> Note that you use single quotes to wrap the href attribute and double quotes to wrap the file path. I haven't tested this, but it should work. Kaled.

<\\server\publicfolder\FolderOne\Folder Two\Folder Three>
enclosing them with the <> works like a charm
Thanks everyone

That's a new one for me. I tested this out with Outlook 2003, and it does work! < \\server\publicfolder\FolderOne\Folder Two\Folder Three> That makes the entire link click-able. Will this work with other mail clients as well?
