it gets worse. the 28 email hyperlink in the orginal html file that i generate with vfp actually does work. i emailed the html file to a friend and they had no problem opening the link - nor did i have a problem when the file was attached to an email. when i save the html file to a general directory however, the 28 email hyperlink does not work - yet the smaller 8-12 email hyperlinks do work. any ideas??

>when i cut and paste ONLY the hyperlink part with 28 email addresses into a new and separate html file - click on the link - it works fine.
