Hi everyone,
I'd like to ask for your help with an issue I'm having with a project.
I have an Excel document with 2 tabs:
- Sheet 1 where the user can fill in their report and comment on their tasks.
- Sheet 2 that displays the information from Sheet 1 with a layout appropriate for an email.
Then, the following macro prepares and sends an email with Outlook:
Quote:
Dim xRng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim wDoc As Object
Dim wRng As Object
Set OutApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If OutApp Is Nothing Then
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
If OutApp Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Outlook is not accessible"
Exit Sub
End If
End If
'Get the contents
On Error GoTo Errorhandler
LastRow = Worksheets("Email").Columns(1).Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlValues).Row
Set xRng = Worksheets("Email").Range("A1:J" & LastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
'Now create a mail
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
With OutMail
.To = Range("EmailTo").Value
.CC = Range("EmailCc").Value
.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
.Subject = "")
Set wDoc = OutMail.GetInspector.WordEditor
Set wRng = wDoc.Range
'Copy and paste the contents
xRng.Copy
wRng.Paste
.Display
.Send
My issue:
In the Sheet 2 (where the data are copied from and then pasted in the email body), there is a cell listing multiple company names (based on what the user said in their report) and these company names could be anything (no preset list).
I.e. "List of companies: Company 1, Company 2, Company 3"
I would like each company to be hyperlinked with a URL like "www.test.com/Company_Name". The URL is fixed and only "Company_Name" varies.
Unfortunately I cannot list all companies in separate cells.
My question is:
- After my macro has pasted the email content (from Sheet 2) into the email body, is there a way I could hyperlinked the companies directly in the email body with a search & replace command within the email body and replace each company name with a link? Basically replacing Company with
Company
- Alternatively, is there a way I could instead display the company names in the Excel cell with some HTML codes that could be interpreted as linked words when being pasted into the email editor?
I hope that makes sense. I know this is quite a tricky operation so please let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
