Convert Hyperlink Address Property to Text

Hello,

I don't normally venture in to Outlook programming, but I have a problem I'm trying to solve. My organization recently enabled ATP for incoming outlook email links from external sources. So now, when I reply to an email, identifying information remains in place in a "Safe Link" from Microsoft.

Not a huge deal, but it bugs me.

So I found the following code that successfully replaces the Address property of hyperlinks:

Code:

---

Sub HyperLinkChange()Dim objDoc As Object
Dim tmpLink As Object
    On Error Resume Next
    If ActiveInspector.EditorType = olEditorWord Then
        ' use WordEditor Inspector
        Set objDoc = ActiveInspector.WordEditor
        For Each tmpLink In objDoc.Hyperlinks
            tmpLink.Address = "Hyper Link Removed. Please copy and paste into your browser to view"
        Next tmpLink
    End If
End Sub

---

I wanted to expand on this, and only run the code to replace if it's actually an ATP Safe Link.

I found that if I use something like

Code:

---

response = msgbox(tmpLink.Address)

---

a dialog box is presented with the link. But if I try to evaluate tmpLink.Address as a string, it's just blank.

Is there a way to convert tmpLink.Address in this situation to a string that can be evaluated?

ETA:
