Sending Hyperlinks to Email

[darkstar257]

I understand that Outlook divides its emails into three types: HTML, rich text and plain text.

I'm guessing only the HTML type will support hyperlink hotlinking. I'm having Access 03 send out emails through Outlook, but how would I go about including hyperlinks?

Everything should be a string form in terms of VB for the email body and I can't just string over <ahref HTML mumbo jumbo>....so it's not all gravy!

If you're actual creating an email using VBA specifically, you might have to include the 'href' tags and part of it. I did when I was doing it once. But if yoiu're simply creating an email, or even using interfaces to send it, I would guess that the incoming mail server will parse links out automatically.

I don't know for sure, but I would tend to think so, given today's technology.

I would think that you only need to put:

http://(www.)whatever

Some site don't need the wwww

Sorry I wasn't being clear enough

http://www... works fine actually, BUT I'm not hyperlinking webaddresses.

I'm trying to send hyperlinks for local/network drives ie. C:\TempStore\accessDatabase.mdb ...etc...

These don't automatically show up as hyperlinked in Outlook since Access's auto email scripts just send a string through.

No one knows?
