emails from Access making the emailid hyperlink work

[techexpressinc]

My URL hyperlink works but my eamilid hyperlink does not work. Does anyone know how to make it a link?

Txtbody1 = "https://www.xyzcompany.com/thenet/info "
Txtbody2  = "1.  Download the questionnaire and census file to your local drive or network drive."
Txtbody3 = "2.  Complete the Questionnaire as instructed and e-mail it to emailid@xyzcompany.com."

Thx
Russ

hello again Russ,

If you're creating emails with VBA, you need to encode your links in HTML so they can be read on the other side when the server accepts the email:

"<a href='https://www.xyzcompany.com/thenet/info'>https://www.xyzcompany.com/thenet/info"></a>

You can send email via plain text or HTML though, so you need to use this method especially if you're using the .HTMLbody property of the email object.

Currently i am sending via plain text.
I have not figured out how to send via HTML.

I have it working. Added mailto: in front of the emailid.

" Complete the Questionnaire as instructed and e-mail it to mailto:Returnemail@abc.com. "

I was a little disappointed that the mailto: part comes accross too.

The email body is text. If I can figure out how to change it to html probably I can make it look nicer.

With plain text I can not do bold print either.
