Hello,

Thanks for reading this.

I'm trying to email a clickable link with VBA to outlook. I have the below code which does everything I need but the link that is emailed is not clickable. I is emailed as a hyperlink and the path is correct (if I past the path into the address bar the file opens). I end up with a hyperlink that does nothing. Perhaps it is an Outlook problem, but I email other links all of the time. Is there a better way to create the link?

Thanks for your time.

Code:
Sub SendEmail()
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
    Dim strbody As String
    Dim FName As String
    Dim FPath As String
     
    Recip = [W2].Value & "; " & [W3].Value & "; " & [W4].Value
    FPath = "C:\10 Work Orders\"
    FName = Range("A3")

    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
    strbody = "[URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/&"]" & FPath & FName & ".xlsm" & "[/URL]"

    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
        .To = Recip
        .CC = ""
        .BCC = ""
        .Subject = "new MTC work order submitted"
        .HTMLBody = strbody
        .Send
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0

    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
End Sub
