[Curtis Chong]

Agreed, but I rather like it if it works. I'll test tomorrow.

Thanks.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

I believe that there is actually. I think you can copy the link into a text editor like notepad and it will show the name plus the full URL. You might give that a try. It’s been a while so I could be wrong. :-)

Then from there you should be able to copy it into your browser address bar. I know that’s a roundabout way, but it might work. Obviously that’s not a good long-term solution.
