if I do a test recording on a page that has typical http:// links it works fine?
Anyone have any insight?

I'm noticing the $ DOLLAR signs in the link name.
My experience has been that the AA parser sometimes sees $ dollar signs as VARIABLE indicators and doesn't process them correctly.
The folks here at AA were quick to fix it once I pointed out the problem area.
Ask about the $ dollar signs.
as a work around,
You might try reading a variable from a file such that contains the entire string...
Not sure exactly the syntax, but something like
first make a text file called myURL.txt
then put into the text file the following:
myURL=javascript
:__doPostBack(\'ConfiguredCampaign s1$rep$_ctl1$Linkbutton2\',\'\')
then define a variable called myURL
and browse to the text file.
use F2 to insert the variable myURL in place of the URL string in the control...
Though now that I think about it, you may not be able to insert variables into controls -...
Like I said, ask them if the $ dollar signs are a problem in the control...
