Default Problems sending file link in email

Hi all,

I am attempting to send an email notification to a group of people through
Excel VBA. I want to include a link to the Excel file in the body of the
email to enable quick access. The problem is that there are spaces in a
folder name, and in the file itself, and the "link" stops at the first space
it encounters. The entire path/filename is there, but the underlined link
stops at the first space.

How do I fix this? TIA for your help.

Hi M. Authement

See this Outlook example
http://www.rondebruin.nl/mail/tips2.htm

You can also send links in the body

..Body = "file://Yourcomputer/YourFolder/Week2.xls"

If there are spaces use %20
..Body = "file://Yourcomputer/YourFolder/Week%202.xls"

DOH!!! I was using your site as a reference and I completely missed your
example with spaces. Thank you!
