I've always seen the parentheses become part of the url and make it fail. Unless your colleages are definite about parentheses, you may try <\url> instead, the links must work that way (I didn't try with LyX, but mosts of the admails I receive post the urls that way). If they are definite, leave forced blanks (ctrl-space), like ( \url ). HTH -- Jean-Pierre
