Tried dragging and it says only files or attachments can be attachments
I want to use the Insert, Hyperlink option but am not sure of the Type or URL to use.
I want a hyperlink that says CLICK HERE and opens up a window to the folder.

Thanks Stefan. Still can't get it to work. The path does have spaces, will that mess it up ?
Type - It gives options of: file, http, https, gopher, mailto, news, wais or telnet.

What, something different to the usual UNC name e.g. \\server01\share01
If I wanted people to open a folder by sending them an e-mail, I'd normally just use that. When they click the name, it'll open the folder.
Is that what you mean?

Dunk,
Type would just be "Existing File or WebPage". Set the Text to Display as "CLICK HERE", then set the address to the UNC path for your shared folder e.g. \\server01\share01
That should work.

Sorry, was looking at Outlook 2002.
Funnily enough on my Outlook 2000 @ work, I don't get the Insert->Hyperlink option
Yes, spaces will casue problems if you just start typing the UNC path onto the e-mail. As soon as you hit the spacebar it thinks you've stopped typing the UNC, so stops the hyperlink/shortcut.
You could try putting quotes around it, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
