Grab URL and put in a mail (Outlook 2003)

[jh]

Hello.

Scenario:
I have a a large flowchart made in Visio, published to html. It goes beyond
100 pages, and the flowcharts links from one HTML-page to another.

However, I would to make a mail template, so that the users of the
flowchart-pages can give feedback to the HTML-page concerned.

Therefore I would like to see the URL of the shown HTML-page as the mail's
subject (automatically transfered)

I will link to the same mail template on every HTML-page via a button.

Furthermore, the web-URL cannot be seen in Internet Explorer's address bar,
it is only shown when I right-click one of the HTML-page, and then choose
properties. It is this "address/URL"-value that I would like as the mail
subject.

Please help med, sincerely, Jakob.

Well, assuming you know what the URL is,
mailto:[email protected]?subject=URL

mailto:[email protected]?subject=URL

I know the mailto-command but it won't do, since I won't know which URL the
user has actually opened to give feedback to.
I want the same mail template to be opened from each HTML-page, showing in
the mail subject field which HTML-page they opened the mail template.
(copying the URL automatically)

Any ideas of a whole different setup, if this can't be done?

Is the visio diagram in a frame?

I mean, the way I understood it, you ahve a flow chart that rolls through
multiple web pages.

You want a link on each of those web pages so the user can provide feedback
on that page.

If it's on the webpage, how can you not know what the URL is?

I mean, sure, you could put code within outlook to be called, but, I'm not
entirely sure how well that's going to work. Might want to try the microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
group.

you'll need to use javascript to get the page address - I'd probably use
javascript along with the mailto url format to do it, rather than trying to
do it in outlook.
