Hyperlinking a shape & saving the drawing as a Web page

[Amal]

Visio 2002 (10.0.525)

When I hyperlink a shape with say:
"http://abc.xyz.com/forms/launch.pl?object=someThing&event=
someThing"
and save the drawing as a Web page, the link is translated
in the generated *_vml.htm file as
"http://abc.xyz.com/forms/launch.pl"
The rest of the line starting with "?" is ignored.

I could put such links in the older versions of Visio
(e.g., 5.0).

How to fix this problem?

Thanks,

-Amal
