SUMMARY
This article describes how to enable the use of Internet hyperlinks and file shortcuts in a Microsoft Exchange form. This allows the recipient of a form to view references to the Internet and file resources as hyperlinks. For example, these can be viewed as hyperlinks or shortcuts:

http://www.microsoft.com

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com

  file:\\myserver\myshare\myfile.doc



MORE INFORMATION
To enable Internet hypertext links or file shortcuts in a form, you must use a RichEntry field that has a Reference Name of MAPI_Body_Custom. Only one field per window can be used as a MAPI_Body_Custom, so only one RichEntry field per window can allow Internet and file hyperlinks. However, you can have multiple RichEntry fields on a Form window.

To change the Reference Name of a RichEntry field to MAPI_Body_Custom:


 * 1) In the Form window, select the RichEntry field you want to use and on the View menu, click Field Properties.
 * 2) On the General tab, in the Reference Name box, select the MAPI_Body_Custom check box.

NOTE: If this name is already taken by another field on the Form window, change one of the fields' Reference Names. Only one field per window can have the name MAPI_Body_Custom.
