Found out that Microsoft Word has a character limit on the size of a URL so some of my canned query strings cannot be inserted as hyperlinks into Word. Any suggestions on this. I have tried removing almost all unnecessary information from the string but it is still a wee bit too long.

you could link to a page that redirects to the desired url.

eg. make html pages with a redirect header, name them appropriately and put them somewhere on a server so that they are accessible by your audience.

a simple redirect can be accomplished in many ways, a simple way would be using the meta refresh HTML tag.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://myserver.net/dbtw-pub/...">



redirect after 1 second to http://myserver.net/dbtw-pub/...

Using this method you can also modify the canned queries down the road if you need to - and people will get the most current "canned query" when they browse to the link.
