I had seen a way to send an email that contains a Hyperlink to a file on our office network. This way, the receiver of the email will NOT have a file attached, but instead, have a hyperlink to the actual file on our network server. I forget what this hyperlink's path is. Can you help?
I think it is something like File://M:\folder\file??

You can open a new message, from insert menu chose hyperlink and browse for the file. In addition the location of the file must be viewable (share) for all users.

Yes. I am using Outlook97. I don't think that in Outlook2000 you don't have it. Maybe is in other submenu or you need some patches/addins.

In my Outlook 2000, when I create a new email, and click insert, I DON'T have hyperlink as an option. Is this what you meant?
