I want to create email containing link to Excel table. It is possible to create link by “Create\Hotspot\Link Hotspot” command. There is correct link to Excel table in email. But when I open this table probably some copy of Excel file from temporary directory is opened, because changes are not saved to original file.
How can I create link allowing me to open and save Excel file from defined location in Lotus Notes?

You indicated Windows XP for the platform.
Have you tired using the exact same approach as a URL link only changing it to: file:\server\share\path\filename.xls
The limitation is of course the person has to have access to that location.
Another “trick” we have done, when people have wanted to see a icon was to have the person creating the e-mail create a shortcut of the file. Then drag the shortcut into the body of the e-mail. Then it looks like an attachment but not all the content and points at the network drive location.

Great, the “trick” with shortcut of the file is working. Thank you very much for your help.
