Outlook from Intranet

I have client who is running Outlook 2000 and Exchange. Their server is running IIS and I am trying to open Outlook in a specific folder from their Intranet.

On my test server with Outlook 2003 and no Exchange the following works fine:
<a href="outlook:public Folders/All Public Folders/Velocity Calendar/Railroad Conference Room" class="BoldText">Outlook Link</a>

On the clients server this produces "Unable to display the selected folder or item".

If I HREF "Outlook Today" it works. I HREF Outlook Today/<anything that exists> it opens at Outlook Today.

If I references anything in Exchange/Public Folders from the top down I get that message.

Is there a special way to access Exchange folders from html?

Is the correct forum?

Thanks for any advise.
 
I am not sure, but you may have to make an explicit reference to WinHTTP.DLL. It should be listed under the References as Microsoft WinHTTP Services. It is possible you may have to use it to make a HTTPGetRequest to Exchange.

Could be barking up the wrong tree though.

Thanks for your idea fumei. It got me going on the right track.

Actually, it is just a matter of knowing the correct syntax.

I found an article on that had all the information you need. If you are interested look at article number 4969 and just look for the examples in table 1.
