    Outlook Custom Form - Links in Textbox

    Hi,

    I have been tasked to develop a custom form which registers contracts. The recipient of this email form needs to have links to various workbooks (.xls, .doc & .pdf files). I have added some functionality to the template, where the sender clicks on a button, browses to the file (that they want to send the link of), using the commondialog box. When the sender clicks open, the full filepath is inserted into a textbox.

    The code i have used is:
    Sub cmdBrowse1_Click
        sSaveMessageClass = Item.MessageClass
        Set objDialog = CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog") 
        objDialog.Filter = "Excel Spreadsheets|*.xls"
        objDialog.FilterIndex = 1 
        'objDialog.InitialDir = "W:\" 
        intResult = objDialog.ShowOpen 
        If intResult = 0 Then 
            exit sub 
        Else 
            Item.UserProperties.Find("txtBrowse1").Value = "<file://" & objDialog.FileName & ">"
        End If 
        Item.MessageClass = sSaveMessageClass
    End sub
    


    Ideally, i would like this task to insert a hyperlink to the file, so that when the recipient receives the email, all they have to do is click on the textbox to open the document, but i cannot figure it out. I have also tried adding a click event for the corresponding box on the read page, but i cannot get it work.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance
    Neil
