Hi fellow excellers - I have used Ron de Bruin VBA code in one of my earlier VBA and am reviving it into a newer workbook. The code works fine, but I have found that when the hyperlink is copied into the email body, instead of appearing 'in line' with the rest of the range, the hyperlink is pasted on its own, much further down the page.
I suspect this is because the hyperlink 'remembers' where it was on the excel sheet (i.e. row 17) and then pasted into the same footprint in the email. Even if there is only one row that needs to be pasted into the email, the hyperlink doesnt accompany the rest of the row, but inserts itself '17 rows' further down the page.
Has anyone experienced this, or have an edit / solution for this?
Thanks!
