I am using Outlook 2003.

I am having trouble trying to use a file:// Hyperlink to run an executable
file and put a command line parameter at the end of the Hyperlink . Without
the added command line parameters, the file:// runs the executable file
correctly. When I add a command line parameter or two, I get the message
"Cannot find file .... Make sure the path or Internet address is correct".

I have tried putting the path in double quotes such as:
file://"c:\directory\filename.exe /param1". I have also tried using %20 for
the spaces such as: file://c:\directory\filename.exe%20/param1. I have also
tried the Mail Format checkbox using Word 2003 as the email editor, without
success.

I am the developer of the app, so I took the "/" out of the parameter
because it seems like Outlook is turning the "/" around into a "\" when I
click on it.

Any Ideas?

Thank you for your help.
