Oliver,

Thank you for the help. I have read that site before but it does not seem
to work with Outlook 2003 desktop short cuts. Here is the short cut target
that I am working with right now. I did make sure that I have access to the
outlook calendar through Outlook.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /select
outlook:calendar\user name.

It works fine when I levae out the "\user name| but I would like to be able
to set up a short cut for me to access the users calendar. I also tried as a
html tag but didnt seem to work either kept giving me errors on locating the
object.

Thanks in advance, was kinda stuck on this one.
 
Dear Dana,

you must change the space by "%20" and include the Root-Folder:

e.g.

+ Outlook:Personal Folders
---+ Calendar
------+ user name

will result in following:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /select
outlook:\\Outlook:Personal%20Folders\calendar\user%20name


To format a hyperlink (path), please insert in your Internet Explorer as
URL:

javascript:expr=prompt('Path, eg: Outlook:Personal Folders\\Contacts\\User
1','');expr=expr.replace(/\\/g,'/');expr=encodeURI(expr);expr=expr.replace(/\//g,'\\');void(prompt('parameter',
'/select outlook:\\\\' + expr))

(This is ONE line!) :-))

You will get a small javascript interface, where you can type in your "path"
and you will get the changed Outlook conform hyperlink.
