Hi, I want to create an URL link like this:file:\HRServer\HR Employee Savings\Salary Files

Basically, when user received it, they can click it to open that form from browser, can anybody show me how to make it working? thanks a lot,

You can’t have spaces in a URL; they need to be replaced either with “+” (actually POST encoding, but less confusing to the users) or “%20” (actually in line with the GET URL standards).

thanks for the quick response, yes, I realized that, but just can not figure out how to make it work. I tried the following:file:\HRServer\HR+Employee+Savings\Salary+Files

file:\HRServer\HR%20Employee%20Savings\Salary%20Files

Even the above is not looks good since user may not want to see the “+” or “%20”, but the above codes do not work.

I also tried this:

file:\HRServer\HR Employee Savings\Salary Files this does not work as well.

Any idea?

Lotusscript? @Functions? Java?

The COBLE program send content to notes email, and when notes user received email and open it, it should be displayed as my first post, and click to open the content in browser.

Sorry for the confusing,It is not Lotusscript, Formula or Java, It is a COBOL program lanuage which send an email to lotus notes mailbox, the email content includes this URL.

So you generate an SMTP Email using COBOL that happens to get sent to a user on the Domino server. The MIME email you are generating in COBOL must be malformed.

One thing I see, is you have a pretty obvious mistake in that your slashes are going the wrong way.

You have:

file:\HRServer\HR+Employee+Savings\Salary+Files

where is should be

file://HRServer/HR+Employee+Savings/Salary+Files
