Using 0.9.24 v3 - I can insert a link from an Outlook 2007 message by draging it into the Hyperlink drop zone.

But how can I open that linked message from within IQ ?

 

The Lineage shows the inserted link but clicking on the inserted link does nothing.

Also clicking on the item "link to your outlook inbox" from the sample db does nothing.

Am I missing something ?

Could you supply an screenshot or the resulting item text (in edit mode) which should show the <a href ... > tag

That is a tricky question.
When the focus is no longer on the InfoQube window the edit mode is closed.
Capturing a screenshot is not possible with edit mode open.
 
But then there is alt prt sc to come to the rescue :-)
 
I have put two screenshots in a word document :
- the Hyperlink window
- the resulting item in edit mode.
 
If you need anything else, let me know

So when you exit the editor, you see

?
 
If you see this, but clicking on it does not open the Outlook item, then
  1. it seems that Outlook is not processing the link correctly.
  2. Can you get this to work in other apps?
  3. If you put the link in IE, does it work

Test from Francis : click here
- Yes, that's what I see.

1. it seems that Outlook is not processing the link correctly.
- Correct

2. Can you get this to work in other apps?
- (Since IQ has no link yet to Thunderbird), I've only started up OutLook 2007 last week.
Yesterday I tried to install OutlookLinker from Teamscope which I used (before switching to Thunderbird) to link OL2003 to Ecco1994 :-) and it didn't work either.
Seems like an OL problem.
Any ideas on fixing this one ?

3. If you put the link in IE, does it work
- not sure I understand what you mean by putting the link in Internet Explorer

This is definitely an OL2007 problem on my installation.
I succesfuly tested the link on another computer with OL2003.
 
On my pc I did a new install of Office 2007 Ultimate, but the problem is still there : no link.
 
I turned firewall off before testing.
 
Any ideas on fixing this ?

MS is so obsessed with security, perhaps look into the (surely) numerous settings...
 
p.s. soon, MS will prevent us from using our PC altogether, for security reasons
