With VB6 I'm programmatically creating and sending Outlook email containing
hyperlinks. Certain links are not working. These failing links all have
spaces embedded into the filenames specified on the link. Is there any
work-around to solve this problem? Below is an example of one of the links
in question.

\\Bzq\testfolder\PROOFS\140999 - FINAL PROOF.pdf

Notice the document name is "140999 - FINAL PROOF.pdf" there are a total of
3 spaces in the name.

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
JB
 
What's the format of the message? The generic solution is to put <> around
the link. If it's an HTML format message, explicitly add an <a> tag and make
sure you replace the spaces with %20.
