Hyperlink in email not working

[Webkins]

Here is the hyperlink contained in my MSSql2000 stored procedure which creates the automated email and link:

<a href="C:\WINDOWS\System32\mstsc.exe /console">Click Here For Console Connection</a>

The email error error says it cannot find the file. The problem is with the /console switch. Without the text /console it works just fine. What am I doing wrong.

In the Outlook 2007 email error message the text path appears as C:\WINDOWS\System32\mstsc.exe\console

Thank you for your help

Is it becuase you need to HTML encode the " /console"?

Something like: mstsc.exe%20%2fconsole

I think %2f is "/" you may have to check...

I have been trying for hours with all different variations of this code with no luck:

SET @Text8 = '<a href=c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe%20%2Fconsole">Click Here For Action Log</a>'

The path appears as: c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe%20%2Fconsole

Is this correct the correct usage of the html encoding ?
Thank you

It might have just been a typo when typed it in here but it should read:

SET @Text8 = '<a href="c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe%20%2Fconsole">Click Here For Action Log</a>'

If that does not work, then I'm afraid I can not help maybe try and find a more email/html orientated forum. Good luck!
