"Save As" document link won't open, with error message ".. can't find .. correct location or web address" - vba

Question

I have an Excel Document in a Template. Users input information and Save As a new genericized number. They then hit a button that auto populates an email to one of 5 people using Vlookup and based on the cost margin.
The file is Save As'd but the e-mail recipient cannot open the file, it reads invalid location. I can close and reopen the new renamed sheet and drag it into an e-mail. I need to link to the newly saved file's name that appears in the email.
Sub Email_created_Workbook()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim Mess As Object, Recip
Recip = [Sheet1!B28].Value & "; " & [Sheet1!B27].Value
Dim strbody As String
If ActiveWorkbook.Path <> "" Then
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
strbody = "<font size=""3"" face=""Calibri"">" & _
"Hello,<br><br>" & _
"There is a New PO awaiting your approval :<br><B>" & _
ActiveWorkbook.Name & "</B> is created.<br>" & _
"Click on this link to open the file : " & _
"<A HREF=""file://" & ActiveWorkbook.FullName & _
""">Link to Workbook</A>" & _
"<br><br>Regards," & _
"<br><br>Automated Approval System</font>"
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = Recip
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = ActiveWorkbook.Name
.HTMLBody = strbody
.Display 'or use .Send
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
Else
MsgBox "The ActiveWorkbook does not have a path, Save the file first."
End If
End Sub
The file name does adapt in my e-mail, from PO Template, but will not open.

I believe this will help you with your current issue (closing and reopening your file before sending). I've removed the the two lines of your code where you set the Outlook objects to Nothing. To reopen the current file you can use the OnTime function like so:
Sub Email_created_Workbook()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim Mess As Object, Recip
Recip = [Sheet1!B28].Value & "; " & [Sheet1!B27].Value
Dim strbody As String
If ActiveWorkbook.Path <> "" Then
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
strbody = "<font size=""3"" face=""Calibri"">" & _
"Hello,<br><br>" & _
"There is a New PO awaiting your approval :<br><B>" & _
ActiveWorkbook.Name & "</B> is created.<br>" & _
"Click on this link to open the file : " & _
"<A HREF=""file://" & ActiveWorkbook.FullName & _
""">Link to Workbook</A>" & _
"<br><br>Regards," & _
"<br><br>Automated Approval System</font>"
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = Recip
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = ActiveWorkbook.Name
.HTMLBody = strbody
.Display 'or use .Send
End With
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:10"), "SendEmail"
ThisWorkbook.Close True 'True= yes, save changes
Else
MsgBox "The ActiveWorkbook does not have a path, Save the file first."
End If
End Sub
Sub SendEmail()
Dim OutApp As Object: Set OutApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application") 'Grab current instance of Outlook since we already opened the instance prior to restarting Excel
Dim oInspector As OutApp.Inspector: Set oInspector = OutApp.ActiveInspector
Dim NewMail As OutApp.MailItem: Set NewMail = oInspector.CurrentItem 'Grab currently open New/Compose Mail window
NewMail.Send 'Send Email
End Sub
Let me know if this helps resolve your issue.
