Link in Access generated email

[cranebill]

I have a button tha generates an email and sends it via outlook. If I would like to include a link in the email body, how would one go about doing that?

Any help appreciated.

If you are sending the body as HTML, I think it is as simple as including the URL text in the body.

What have you tried so far?

Actually have not tried anything as of yet.

I thought about that but in HTML format in outlook you can have for example:

To look at this request please click here

where the word "here" would be an alias for the link for lack of better term

In HTML to achieve that effect you type something like this:

<a href = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1379798&page=1">Here's[/URL] this page</a>

Which gives you this effect: Here's this page

So that should be a good starting point.

Hope this helps,

Alex

Yeah I know html a bit...

maybe I should have explained it a little different.

I found I needed to use .HTMLbody rather than just .body.

Thanks

Ah yes, that ;-)

Next time, it would help to post your code.

Glad you got it working
