Using Sendobject to send emails with URL Links

[kihunterk]

I have an application that requires that I send emails to customers with URL links. I have tried several approaches to accomplish this requirement to no avail. I am able to send the document as an attachment. Does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this>

what do you mean "URL links", links within the email or that the email itself is from url

When you open an outlook form you can add

http://www.microsoft.com

within the body of the text and when the recipient clicks on the link it opens the web site.

you have to send in html format

i use asp's cdo to send emails, then set the body to .Htmlbody i'm not sure how your sending

Use an Access form to collect content. The content contains Html fields. Use SendOpbject to send an email via Outlook. Before sending the email the user can view it for accuracy.

Could you give me an example of how you do it?

What happens when the recipient receives the mail relies entirely on their mail client.

Some mail clients parse all the URLs and link them while some don't. Some clients will display HTML and some won't.

You do not need to do anything special to get this to work for the majority of people. Try sending a plain text e-mail containing a URL to a hotmail account and you will see what I mean.

Hope this helps
