Hi. Yesterday I got some help with being able to click on email addresses.
Today I'm trying to do the same thing, but first I had an error message
saying I had to adjust the security settings for the macros to work, so I did
that. Now I have the file open, but when I click on an email address, it says
Cannot open the specified file. What is going on?

Hi Mindy,

I did some searching and found that David McRitchie has done many macros.
If you search through the Programming newsgroup there are tons of Macro
advice. Anyway the following is one that Dave did for specifically this
issue. I imported some e-mail address' into excel to try myself and it
worked perfectly.

Sub MakeEmailLinks()
Dim cell As Range
Dim i As Integer
For Each cell In Intersect(Selection, _
Selection.SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlTextValues))
If InStr(1, cell, "@") 0 Then
With Worksheets(1)
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=cell, _
Address:="mailto:" & cell.Value, _
ScreenTip:=cell.Value, _
TextToDisplay:=cell.Value
End With
End If
Next cell
End Sub

Hope it all works out for you.

Shauna,

Thank you so much for helping, you have been wonderful! Do I need to delete
the macro I inserted yesterday before inserting this one?

Hi Mindy,

No you don't need to delete it but if it's of no use then you definitely
can. It won't hurt anything. You can have many macros (not sure if limited)
in a document.

Hi Shauna,

I can send emails to the people I have already emailed but I'm still getting
that error for the people I haven't emailed yet.
