Link to an item in a public folder

[Jerry Camel]

I've got a public folder containing a bunch of visio diagrams. I want to be
able to send a link to a specific item, so that when the user clicks the
link it opens the visio diagram from the public folder.

I can find a way to send a link to the public folder itself, but how do I
send a link to an item in the folder?

Thanks.

Jerry

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links.htm. YOu need to put ~ before the
item name, which must be unique to the folder.

That's perfect. One question:

There's a link described as follows:

<Outlook:entryID> where entryID is the long ID associated with the item

Where do you get the entryID? Thanks.

It's a property if the item. You can either write code to extract it or use
the Outlook Spy (http://www.dimastr.com) or Mdbvu32.exe (comes with
Exchange) tools.
