Open outlook from a sharepoint page

Hi, what's the syntax to open outlook from a sharepoint page?
keren tsur

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to open Outlook Form a SharePoint Page.
If you wanted to see the Outlook content in SharePoint page, I recommend to use Page Viewer Web Part.
In addition, you can use the Site Mailboxs.
For more information, please refer to:

Open Outlook From Projector

Hi All;
I am working on a Director application. It needs to open
outlook.
If working on Shock-Wave file, I can use command and it
works.
But from Projector, It first opens a Browser window and then
opens outlook.
Can any-one please suggest how to make it possible in
Director Projector?
I want to open outlook with subject, mail-to and message-text
defined by me. But I default browser should not open.
Thanks

Here's an excellent link on almost everything you can do with
a mailto:
http://email.about.com/od/mailtoemaillinks/a/mailto_elements.htm
It includes a link to a Mailto URL encoder, simply enter the
email fields and it will return the URL safe string. That having
been said, your formatting options are limited without resorting to
an HTML mime type, but it's better than nothing.

Unable to open PDF from IE web pages

Windows 7, IE 11, Adobe Reader XI
I have no problem opening same when using Chrome so there must be some setting that I've failed to find in IE. I've reinstalled AR several times and adjusted as many IE settings as I've found suggestions for in the forum and elsewhere. Obviously, it's a real pain to have to go to Chrome every time I want to save a statement.
What would you suggest I try next?

Thanks to those who made suggestions. THE PROBLEM IS NOW, magically, FIXED.
Yesterday I, once again, opened AR from the desktop icon. Then I selected Repair Adobe Reader Installation and followed the steps to do that. I have successfully opened and saved all online the PDF statements that I have tried since.
Obviously the problem was with AR 11.0.10 and the repair (finally) worked.
I just noticed, as I mentioned above the installed version is now different than the version I was having the problem with.

Open file from a web page?

I would like to create links to some files that will open in their proper application when I click links on the web page. Is there a simple way to open a file from a regular href web link?
If I put in a posix path of the network file that I want to open, the finder will open a window and show you the file, but the file does not open.

Only a few file formats can be opened and displayed in a Web browser. These files can only be viewed or saved to the local drive.
In order to be used by other applications the file must be downloaded to the local machine and then opened.

How can I open files from Appleworks and Pages 4.3 in Mavericks?

I have documents I created in Appleworks and Pages 4.3 that I can't open in Pages 5.1 using Mavericks. How can I open those files?

Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.

Word, PowerPoint and Excel Crash when opening Files from Sharepoint Site.

Hello,
I am in the process of rolling out office 2013 company wide. I have started with a batch of test users and a few including myself are reporting various office apps crashing with opening files from our SharePoint site. Although at times it will crash outside
of the site.
I have tired running each app in various modes (Safe-mode, Compatibility mode ect) but the same results keep happening. Although it does not happen all the time on other users machines its more frequent. If i download the file and open it locally this does
not appear to happen.
We are all running Office 2013 SP1 32bit on Windows 7 Machines.
One Common issue they everybody seems to have always points to "Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\VBScript.dll". I have done some digging but have not encountered any solution that points to this file. We constantly stay current on the
latest updates from MS.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Air application not behaving well on opening outlook

Hi,
I've designed an air application, in javascript in aptana studio,
I need my application to talk to outlook.
However, on opening outlook from my air application, the images in my application are not visible after closing outlook.
Could this possibly be an error in programming or ..??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Yes, tested this and it doesn't work properly. As you said, Spaces has been involved in each 10.5.x update and I am sure there will be more changes in 10.5.5.

Unable to open websites from address bar

I can open links from firefox home page, so it can be sure that connection is OK, but when I enter a website at address bar it navigates to a page having text 'Unauthorized request'; at source code its a simple text and not a HTML page giving no clue from where this responce page is generated. At error console it reads unable to read 'C:/.../chrome.manifest'

This sounds like an add-on may have got broken somehow.
Try following the steps for [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and see if that helps, and then post again.

Disable prompt when opening document from intranet

I am developing a new company intranet using Sharepoint Services 3.0 on Windows Server 2003 Standard SP2.
On my intranet I have a series of links pointing to documents in a library.
My problem is that for every MS Office file I open I get a prompt box from IE asking '"What do you want to do with this file - open, Save, Save As". This is going to drive our users mad.
What I want to do is turn-off this prompt so that when the user clicks the link it just opens the file.
I can understand why this prompt would occur when accessing an 'outside' website but it's an unnecessary hurdle on an internal only intranet.
I am using IE9 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit but the only 'solutions' I can find anywhere on the web all refer to previous versions of IE & Windows; none of them seem to work with the IE9/Win7 combination. I should also point out I get a similar
scenario with the Avant browser, but IE is our company default installation.
Is there anything in Sharepoint Services that I'm missing that governs how documents etc. are opened from a link in a sharepoint site?

Yes, it's in the Local Intranet zone.
It would seem there is an option for this in Sharepoint, called Browser File Handling, but it only exists in Sharepoint 2010, it's not available in Sharepoint Servicves 3.0 which is why I couldn't find it.
I have now found a couple of workarounds but they are not ideal as they involve editing the Windows registry, and I don't really want to do that on every users computer, but just in case anyone else wants to know here they are.
Create registry key HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
Create REG_BINARY values in this key for each product required eg. Excel.Sheet.8, PowerPoint.Show.8, Word.Document.8
Alternatively in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT set the EditFlags value for each product required to 00 00 01 00.
As always, recommendation is to back up the registry before changes and don't attempt the above if you're not confident with registry editing.
If anybody knows of a simpler way to always open files from a Sharepoint site without prompting then I'd still like to know.

Editing SharePoint Pages programatically

We have a requirement from Client, where we have to find and replace a set of links from a SharePoint page programatically, (since they have many SharePoint pages, so manually editing is not in scope).
It will be very helpful ,if someone give me a hint about how to find and replace a string in a SharePoint page (for both Site page & Publishing Page) using C# or power-shell.
Thanks in advance....

Thanks for your reply.....
It is a good tool indeed, but we are not allowed to use any third party tool ....
It will be very helpful, if someone gives me an idea about how to find and replace strings in a
SharePoint Page (both Site Page & Publishing Page).

How to open outlook

any ideas how to open outlook from a button?
i've tried this, but it doesn't work on win-98:
exec("cmd /c start mailto:")

That's because win9x has command.com not cmd.exe .

The way SharePoint open office documents will differ if the user try to open them from the document library directly, or if users try to open the document from the search result page.

I have a document library where I have uploaded an excel sheet to it. Now If I click on the excel sheet directly from the document library page , I will get the following error ““The webpage cannot be displayed””. While if I do a search and I open the excel
sheet from the search result page , it will open the excel sheet using the excel services inside the browser !!.
So can anyone advice on this ?
Also if I have a PowerPoint document , and I try to open it from the document library I will get the following error “The webpage cannot be displayed” , and the URL will be prefix with the following “ms-powerpoint:ofv|u|”. while if i do a search and i open
the PowerPoint from the search result page i will be prompted to either open or save the document ? So why SharePoint is reacting totally different when trying to open document library items from the document library Or from the search result page?

Hi,
The behavior in the document library could be probably because of the Documents handling setting. Please try setting it to default behavior (Open in browser) as i hear from you that the default behavior is to open from browser.
Thanks, Suneetha
Currently I have set the following;-
1. On the library advance setting :- I define “Open in the client application”
2. On the web application setting:- I define stricked for Browser File Handling
And I have noted if I delete the browser cache and I access the document , then I will be prompted with the download dialog. but if I re-click on the same document I will be redirected to the
The webpage cannot be displayed
And the ms-powerpoint:ofv|u| will be added to the beginning of the URL. So could this be a caching problem ?

Sorry, something went wrong - Open Office File from Search Results Page with Office Web Apps

Hi,
I'm getting "Sorry, something went wrong" error when I'm trying to open any office document from inside Search Results Page with Office Web Apps, the same error is appearing in the document preview as well.
The error in SharePoint logs says that the file cannot be found.
Please note that this error is coming only when the "Filename" of the document is not written in English (in my case its written with Arabic characters).
If I try to open it from the document library, its opening properly with no errors.
The only difference between two URLs (document URL in Search Results and in Document Library) is the value for "sourcedoc" attribute;
In the case of Search Results page, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is kept as is with Arabic characters.
While in the Document Library, the filename in "sourcedoc" attribute is converted into different characters (something like: "B9%D9%85%D9%8").
Anybody have an idea on how to overcome this issue, implement a workaround or modify the "sourcedoc" behavior?
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Wendy,
Thanks for your efforts, I already tried your last suggestion before, but this didn't solve my problem.
Actually my end users are accessing this portal using ADFS and HTTPS.
Finally I got this solved, I have done below to get my overall solution working perfectly:
- First I have configured Windows Authentication and ADFS Authentication on the same zone which is the default zone.
- The issue when opening office documents with Arabic file name has disappeared as a result of first change.
- Then I have faced an issue where we are not able to crawl content under Default zone, however we have to do so, after too many efforts, I found that its related to the Load-balancer/proxy, I have made the crawler server
to crawl himself (http://CrawlServerName:PortNumber).
- Also a change on Alternate Access Mapping was needed, I have set one of the extended zones (which is running Windows Authentication only) as Internal URL for the Default Zone, and this is was the URL I used for Crawling.
I have configured Server Name Mappings to make sure we got proper URLs in Search Results.
- Then we faced another issue, which is Authentication selection on login page (How to bypass this page, and authenticate using ADFS auto), I used this solution (Set Custom Sign In Page):
http://0ut0ftheb0x.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/skip-the-authentication-selection-page-at-_logindefault-aspx-in-a-mixed-authentication-environment/.
- I faced one more issue as a result of above workaround; Sign Out functionality wasn't working well; users get logged in automatically whenever I click on Sign Out. I solved this by modifying the "Sign Out" Control under _layouts;
I made it to redirect users to ADFS Sign Out Page instead of SharePoint Sign Out Page (I know its not recommended, but I don't have any other option).
