Good afternoon

I have some VB that sends an email to people but I need to add a hyperlink to the body of an email with a range pasted into the body as well.
Ive looked about the internet and can see how people have amended code to send links to web pages but not a file location on the network.

Would this be possible as I am send out data to be checked in the body of the email and would like them to update the link that is in the email but it always errors.

I am using the following code, but the file wont open and the path is correct.

thanks in advance

Code:
Dim OutApp, OutMail As Object
Dim MakeJPG, AgentName, TLEmail, AgentEmail, Reason, Outcome, Marker, xStrBody  As String
Dim rng As Range

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    

    AgentName = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("G4").Value
    TLName = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Value
    Name2 = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B12").Value
    Email2 = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B13").Value
    CaseId = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C4").Value

    xStrBody = "Please follow " & " ,a href=" & " ******shareddrive access name*****"" Here</a> to update your response" & "<br>"
    
    With Application
        .EnableEvents = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With

    Set rng = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    
    Set rng = Sheets("Email Template").Range("S5:S39").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    On Error GoTo 0

    If rng Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "The selection is not a range or the sheet is protected" & _
               vbNewLine & "please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
        Exit Sub
    End If

    With Application
        .EnableEvents = False
        .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With

    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

    On Error Resume Next
    With OutMail
        .to = TLEmail
        .CC = CXEmail
        .BCC = CheckerEmail
        .Subject = "raised " & AgentName & " CaseID " & CaseId & ". "
        .HTMLBody = xStrBody & RangetoHTML(rng)
        .send
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0

  
    With Application
        .EnableEvents = True
        .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With

    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing

        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats, , False, False
        .Cells(1).Select
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        On Error Resume Next
        .DrawingObjects.Visible = True
        .DrawingObjects.Delete
        On Error GoTo 0
    End With

    'Read all data from the htm file into RangetoHTML
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set ts = fso.GetFile(TempFile).OpenAsTextStream(1, -2)
    RangetoHTML = ts.readall
    ts.Close
    RangetoHTML = Replace(RangetoHTML, "align=center x:publishsource=", _
                          "align=left x:publishsource=")

    'Close TempWB
    TempWB.Close savechanges:=False

    'Delete the htm file we used in this function
    Kill TempFile

    Set ts = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
    Set TempWB = Nothing
