hyperlink to message in outlook

Hi,

I know how to open an outlook folder with an hyperlink from somewhere else,
let say excel: I had an hyperlink outlook:\\Root Folder\Child Folder1\Child
Folder2\

How can I click on a text and have a message in Outlook to open?
I now have a wierd way to do it: I noticed that if you drag and drop
messages into the Outlook Journal a journal Item is created with a link to
the message inside. I can drag and drop this object-link to excel and I'll be
able to open the target-message from excel.

1) I was wondering if I could do the same thing with an hyperlink.
2) I was wondering if I could have a link that points to the original
message wherever I move it to.

Thank you

In particular, can we use the Message ID (sble-click on message > Properties
> Message ID) in any way ?

Thx

I have been trying to do the same thing within Access. The only thing that I
can find is the following link:
http://mutable.net/blog/archive/2006/09/02/How_to_hyperlink_to_Microsoft_Outlook_messages.aspx

I have not tried it yet, as I am not a programmer, and don't want to fool
with the registry.

By the way, I tried your workaround by dragging e.g. a contact into the
journal, grabbing the hyperlink object and dropping it in a OLE object field
in Access, and it worked! That should mean that it is doable to link to
Outlook items from outside Outlook, but there is scarce information about
this anywhere. If MS was really serious about all of Office working
together, it should have a way to do this that you don't need to be a
programmer to do.
