  Hi all,

  I have a requirement to capture an html link. The database is written in 2000, the email client is outlook using HTML formated messages.

  The database is used to send a report to a user via email, who is them prompted to back to the database through a HYPERTEXT link.

  I was wondering if there capturing the details of the link used to open the database, similar to the open arguments used through the '/CMD' switch.

  If this is possible let me know, or am I just barking up wrong trees, and walking into dead end alleys with a whip and a dead horse.....

  TIA

  Yes that smiley means I have found a convuluted way of doing what I needed.

  The fist step was to use the Create a shortcut link by cicaza and the scipting object library, this allowed me to create the shortcut with the embedded command I needed. Now as I cannot send a .LNK file throgh our tightly controlled server, I could not send the link, so being in posistive frame I created an email with a hyper link which points to the shortcut and "HEY PRESTO!!!". The database opens with the extra commands as required.

   

  

   

  Thanks all, great site.
