I need the correct syntax for this DB link - not working?
Call rtitem.AppendText _
( "notes://seal/Melmark/development/CMSROS11906.nsf")
If I use this as a URL it works fine:
Call rtitem.AppendText _
( "http://domino.melmark.org/development/cmsros11906.nsf")

You need to be using a client version that automatically creates links for the “notes:” protocol. R5, for instance, could only deal with “http:”. Try it manually, and if it still won’t work, you’ll need to use a different method (doclink or link hotspot).

I was told new in R6 you could use the Notes:\ ??

“I was told” is not quite the same as “I tested and found to be true”, is it?

Is does not work so I would think it was BS.

The syntax works correctly for me. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it’s not only the version of Notes - you need to make some kind of registry change on your machine so that it knows how to translate the Notes:// protocol.
Based on this search, I’d say a lot of people have managed to get it to work to some degree:

Usually these registry settings should be there, if Notes was installed using the regular local installer.
This might not be the case, though, if it was installed using some 3rd party software distribution tool.

Thanks
The link was a big help - I got it to work.
From / to \ can make a big difference.
