Oops, I relied to heavily on my memory. After checking my posts to the Outlook newsgroup is see that I did report that I was able to open a permalink using the command line, but that was the only way I could get to a specific tiddler on a locally stored TW, other than using a browser of course.
The response I received in the newsgroup was that the file:// protocol is different than the html:// protocol. If that's the case then I'm very surprised that the permalink would work when I called up the browser from the command line and passed the permalink url to it that way. ~Roger On Jan 6, 12:59 pm, roger <[email protected]> wrote: > I was trying to get the permalinks to work in Outlook 2007 and finally > posed the question in the MS Outlook newsgroup.
