Linking to specific Outlook item

Rick Schneider

I am trying to find a way to link to specific Outlook items, e.g. an email),
from Access.

Apparently in Outlook 2007 MS did not provide the ability to link to
specific Outlook items from other office documents. You can enable this by
changing the registry - see "Outlook 2007 and the Missing Outlook://
Protocol" - See http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2009/up090528.htm#2. I
performed these changes, and used Linker from Team Scope (a free utility that
grabs the unique ID of the item - see
http://www.teamscope.com/otherpro/utilities.asp#linker) to create the
hyperlink, but I get the following error: "Cannot display the selected
folder or item" from Outlook.

Does anyone know how to make this work? I just want to be able to create a
hyperlink to an item from a hyperlink field in MS Access.
