VBA to insert file hyperlink in email body?

[hissonrr]

Good evening all,

Is there a way for me to insert a line of script into an email writer to automatically insert the excel file location hyperlink that I am currently working in into the email.

For example...

I have the email writer script below...

I am currently using the ThisWorkbook.Path function to just paste text of the current file location in the email.

Is there a way to make it so instead of just the file path it actually inserts the hyperlink of my current excel workbook?


Let me know if anyone knows a way.


Thanks
