With Office 2003 SP1 Microsoft added in a security feature that blocks,
among other things; "active links" the link will call the IE shell but will
not process the url. "one of the more annoying things about SP1 for Office".
The good news is that Microsoft has released a patch to allow you to change
the restrictions on the dis-allowed items and you can add back in the
support for URLs. The patch will add a tab to your options menu
"Tools/Options _attachment and security options" this plug-in allows you to
change the level of security for any specific file extension..... 

I had to search a bit to find it again (glad I did, the version I had was
old) but by going to Microsoft and doing some digging I found it... Url is

http://www.slovaktech.com/ao_marketplace.htm this is a third party app
that's endorsed by Microsoft....

Outlook may not recognize that you have an internet connection made (even
though you just downloaded 538 Spam and 3 legitimate email messages). 

Try this -- open IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, Connections, LAN
Settings and place a checkmark next to "Automatically Detect Settings". 

I hope this helps.

I am trying to find myself. If you see me before I do, please ask me to wait
until I return.

Running Windows XP and Office 2003.

When in the Outlook Inbox, if a message has a Web link embedded in it, you
click on the link, it opens up Internet Explorer, but then it displays a
message...

This page cannot be displayed...

You can copy the link and paste it into the address box of IE and the site
will come right up...so it just seems to be something inside of Outlook that
won't let the link be active.

Does anyone know enough about Outlook that you can tell me if there is a
setting somewhere that can be turned on or off that will allow these links
to work.

I tried right clicking on the message and going to Junk Email and adding the
sender to the safe senders list, and that didn't make any difference.
