Email link to network drive

I have a submit button to send an email from access. I have embedded a link
to the access database in the email. Can anyone tell me why my link will not
go to the G: drive on the network?

It brings up the locate browser, but it doesn’t start with the G: drive as I
have directed it.

<\\G:\Corporate Shared\Master\Tracking Tool\GTools.mdb>"""

Thanks,
Richard

I saw some samples on this site and tried it, but I'm receiving syntax errors.
Can anyone help me with this. Here's my code:

<a href="\\G:\Corporate Shared\Master\Tracking Tool\GTools.mdb"> \\G:\
Corporate Shared\Master\Tracking Tool\GTools.mdb </a>"

Hi Richard,

The syntax isn't quite right. One or more of the following should work:

file:///G:/Corporate%20Shared/Master/Tracking%20Tool/GTools.mdb

G:\Corporate Shared\Master\Tracking Tool\GTools.mdb

\\SERVER\SHARE\Corporate Shared\Master\Tracking Tool\GTools.mdb

replacing "SERVER" and "SHARE" with the actual names.
