I can not get passed this simple thing
Published on December 5, 2007 By avoca In Personal Computing
What am I missing here, WHY OH WHY should it not be a simple matter to create a link, hyperlink, to a file on my own pc, in any little program that supports hyperlinking? I google and google for the syntax, and other than all the dirty little "would you like to by a watch real cheap, here on the street" entries, I find no clues. It it somthing to do with the securities and permissions? how is it I can link to a file in outer space, with ease, but not to one on my OWN COMPUTER? Just please someone tell me to give up, or that it is simple???Just what do I need to know and HOW on EARTH should I be asking the question? Please and THANKYOU!

You obviously have Office so I'll use 'Outlook' as an example:

If want the whole calendar you create a shortcut: outlook:\\Personal%20folders/calendar

If you want one day you create a shortcut: outlook:\\Personal%20folders

If you create an Event on any given day, then insert the file you want to open in the event. When the Reminder pops up, click on it and then click on inserted file. That's as simple as it gets short of scripting it.

Thanks for you help yrag! Im actually don't have office, though. Just the windows calendar Vista includes. But, think I am happy now! This "UK's Kalendar" allows you to "link a program or document to an event"! All I ever wanted, with bells and whistles!My reoccuring tasks are almost fully automated! Thanks!
