A question was posed to me regarding a calculated field that she hasincorporated into a custom list. The result should be for a emailmessage to be generated as follows.="mailto:"&[Recipient Last Name:]&"?subject=CI%20Recognition&body=You%20have%20been%20nominated%20for%20a%20Recognition%20Award.%20Follow%20this%20link%20to%20view%20your%20award.%20"www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/102-8592657-5740117?search-alias=aps&keywords=sharepoint'"The problem I am having is that the message dies at "award. Http" Itwill not reference the link to amazon. This i believe stems from thefact that this shows up as 2 links="mailto:"&[Recipient Last Name:]&"?subject=CI%20Recognition&body=You%20have%20been%20nominated%20for%20a%20Recognition%20Award.%20Follow%20this%20link%20to%20view%20your%20award.%20"http://www.amazon.com/.../102-8592657-5740117?search-alias=aps&keywords=sharepoint'"What am i missing here. What will bring these together so that whenthe email is generated the html link will reside in the body of themessage.
Taking a stab but the url ends up being over 255 characters. Another thingtoo try is to use blank spaces instead of %20.
Not sure why the url size would matter in this situation. I understand the 255 char limitation but this is simply a link that will be pushed to outlook.
Anyone else have any insight on this?
It appears to me that this is a simple character limitation of the one-line calculated field being used. The underlying data type will only store a certain number of characters, regardless of the content.
I will try to have them shorten the string and see if that does fix the issue.
This turned out not to be an issue with the length ofthe message but a simple bonehead character that was beingplaced.... apparently http:// had to be written as http%3A// inorder to join the two displaced sentences together.
I think it is the " mark that precedes the HTTP. It looks like you're breaking the string up in the middle. Try changing it to a ' instead.
Removing the :// brings everything together. When I readd the :// it once again seperates.
