How do I save a Calendar to .htm with embedded links?

I am saving links on my Calendar on different dates. When I do a "Save As"
to make the Calendar a .htm page, the links will not work. How can I make
these links work?
 
How are you creating the links? Are you linking to files inside your web or
files on your hard drive? What's a URL to a page where the links don't work
so we can take a look?
 
David,

David, I am attempting to do this with the company I work for. I have
stored information on a server that all employees have access to. The link
looks like this: <file:\\main30\brochures\mail\s&I investments\membership
info.htm>

When I look at the calendar in .htm format, the link appears to be
recognized since my cursor change from an arrow to a "pointing finger". When
I double-click the link, however, it does not open.
 
The link should be more like:
<a href="file://serverName/main30/brochures/mail/s&I
investments/membership info.htm">
Or if main30 is the serverName
<a href="file://main30/brochures/mail/s&I investments/membership
info.htm">Membership info</a>

Note the direction of the slashes.

Ronx,
I tried your code and this is what is looked like when the calendar was
saved to .htm:
HYPERLINK "file://main30/brochures/mail/s&I investments/membership
info.htm"Membership info

The icon changed when I moved over the link but it did not pull up the doc.
 
Yea, I know. The HTML markup coding was removed by the system and replaced
with what I showed in my previous post. I am using Microsoft Outlook SP1.
It seems that when saving the calendar as a .htm file, it does not recognize
the HTML markup coding.
 
You are using illegal naming convention for your folders

You can not have & (and should not have spaces) as part of a URL
As in your folder named "s&I investments"

The & is reserved for use in multiple parameters after the page link
As in membership_info.htm?a=XX&b=YY

Rename your folder structure to eliminate spaces and the & so the links look like:
<a href="file://main30/brochures/mail/sI-investments/membership_info.htm">
Membership info</a>
