How to use external links to show a specific page with a parametrer ?

Question

Hi everybody,
we discovered an annoying problem while we were developping applications who are sending emails after creating a new record. We are creating a valid APEX link which call our applications correctly, on the right page, and with the right parameter. The first time we log in, it works perfectly. The problem is when the user is trying to call an other record from the next email. It's not working unless we close our session. I guess it's a protection against hacking, but we can't ask the user to connect and disconnect every time they wants to watch a specific record directly from a mail ?
The only way I can imagin to resolve this problem, is to open a page that will show all the newest entries in the table from a parameter. It could work for our applications that requires a lot travel between records.
Do you have any other solution we could use ?
Thanks

Not the application, the page their are accessing.. Since you are using check-sums on the links and some sort of authentication, unless you build your authentication to allow a certain user access via e-mail, you will have issues.
Have you seen this example of doing a survey through e-mail in APEX?: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=9487:28:426474841717567::NO:28::
It MIGHT offer you some help....

"I didn't know there were any witnesses", I replied " Now I'll have to kill you too"
