Compile error: Syntax error

[melodramatic]

I'm adding information to the email body of emails that I need to send out, and somewhere, I've obviously butchered it. I'm hoping that someone might be able to tell me what I screwed up here.

What I'm trying to do is add in two hyperlinks, directing the recipient to both a folder and a file. I'm also adding italics to one line, and don't know if maybe that caused my error.

Hoping you can help!

                If Range("D" & WorkLine) = "PQ" Or Range("D" & WorkLine) = "CH" Or Range("D" & WorkLine) = "BG" Then
                    If DCamount >= 100000 Then
                        emailBody = "The attached " & Range("H" & WorkLine) & " is being submitted to you, as its value is " & Format(Range("M" & WorkLine), "$#,###") & "." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
                    End If
                End If
               
'THE TOP PORTION WORKS FINE FOR ME.  IT'S THIS BELOW CODING OF emailBody that gives me the Compile Error | Syntax error
 
                emailBody = emailBody & "Document control submittal: " & vbNewLine & _
                            "     " & DCN & vbNewLine & " | " & Range("G" & WorkLine) & " | " & Range("I" & WorkLine) & vbNewLine & _
                            "     " & <i>"submitted by " & Environ("username")</i> & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
                            "You may view project-specific QA documentation at the following locations:" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
                            "<a href=" & QAfolder & "</a>" & vbNewLine & _ 'QAfolder shows path\
                            "<a href=" & QAfolder & "Document Control\" & Range("X" & WorkLine) & "</a>" 'Range "X" gives complete filename, including extension

I'll have to see if I can find a version that will work. Most of my back end copies were linked to tables that I no longer have access to. It will take some time because I'm crazy busy right now.

OK, I've done several things here...

Gone to line by line on setting the emailBody
Replaced all vbNewLine with <br> (to work with the htmlbody)
Changed .Body to .HTMLBody

I'm still having problems with my links, as now I get nothing showing there. Let me play with it a bit more and then report back...

I think I was misunderstood. When I said vbCrLf, I meant VBA, not HTML.
