Duffbert's Random Musings

Comments

1 - Plain Windows doesn't understand notes : / / URLs. Only after the registry is updated (which the Notes installer does) they work. If you are lucky updating the registry on your Sharepoint server might do the trick already.
If you are less lucky it is in a Sharepoint configuration entry (in the registry?) and if you are out of luck it's hardcoded.

2 - Another solution offered up by David Gursky was to use a URL shortening service like { Link } to turn the { Link } URL into a regular { Link } url. I tried it and it actually works!

I still need to get a more permanent solution (much like what Stephan suggests), but at least there's a short term workaround.

5 - we're facing the same problem here, allthough the MS guys here cannot fix it (it is not supposed to use MS products with ANY other program from a different vendor it seems).

Conclusion: You are not supposed to use Notes with Sharepoint?

6 - I have the same problem here, and my Sharepoint guys took it to M$ as a bug report, and M$ said that it's hardcoded in Sharepoint. Since they also consider it a security feature, they said that they wouldn't change it.

7 - I had the same issue. I was able to get around it by choosing to edit the page as raw html and then inserting the link. I don't currently have access to Sharepoint so cannot point out where I found the option to edit the HTML. Can anyone else help.
