    E-mail a link

    Is there any code/function that would allow me to e-mail a link? I am saving a report out to a network share and then need to send out an e-mail when the report is ready with a link to it's location. Thanks

    add a ref to MS Outlook
    you also need the UNC path to the file...
    VB Code:
    1. Dim Otl As Outlook.Application
    2. Set Otl = New Outlook.Application
    3. Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
    4. Set oMail = Otl.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    5.  
    6. oMail.To = "Who??"
    7. oMail.Subject = "Here is the link to the new file"
    8. oMail.Body = "\\UNC_NAME\Filename.txt"
    9. oMail.Display
    JPnyc rocks!! (Just ask him!)

    O.k. One problem. We use GroupWise for e-mail. I know, I know. Can I just substitute GW where you have Outlook?
