How do send a link to a document using word vba CDO email process? - vba

Question

Does anybody know how to send a link to a word document via email in word vba? I want to use gmail not outlook. I found a solution for outlook:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s1/outlook/bmail10.htm
Is there anyway that can be modified to work using gmail?
I modified: http://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s1/cdo.htm to work with gmail, and it is working fine. I just need to add a link to the body of the email.

Answer 1

You'll need to use the htmlBody property instead of TextBody and use an <a> tag in the HTML.

Answer 2

I didn't know how to send my code...So I posted it as an answer. Hope that's ok. Also I get a strange run time error that I wasn't getting before. Other than that it works.
Thanks!
