href + outlook

[garrethdk]

Is it possible to create a link to open outlook (Client side) to open
a particular folder
here is the code i am trying to use unsuccessfully :

<a href="outlook://Public%20Folders/All%20Public%20Folders/P/W/C/Conf
%20Room/~S%20C%20R">Conference Room 1</a>

Basically what i want to happen is that when a user clicks on the web
link that it opens the meeting room which is in a public folder in
outlook application (not the web interface outlook )

can anyone please help ?

kind regards,
Garreth.

Well, 2007 dropped the outlook:// url format, so I'm not sure you're going
to be able to get it to work there.

Otherwise, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=158135 should still be workable
in 2003. What actually happens when they click that link?

i get a page not found error , do the <outlook> syntax as describe in
the article you are referring to
run server side , so i can get a url to open the clients outlook and
open a folder ?

thanks for your help
