I am using CDO to send information from one form to a few different people. Everything is working fine but the body shows the link typed out instead of as a link. I thought there was something like objNewMail.BodyFormat = 1 or something like that which would make it work, but it's not working. I tried = 1 and = 0 and both showed the same thing. Does anyone know how to create a link in the email being sent through CDO?

I believe the appearance depends upon the email browser. I have opened the same email message in different browsers and a link sometimes looks like a link, sometimes it doesn't.
Think of it this way, it is the mail viewer that opens your web browser with the link. So if the email viewer can do this, a link will look like a link. If it doesn't, it just looks like text.
It also helps, when you insert the link into the body text, to include "http://" on the front of it. Some email viewers need this to identify the text as a link.

I did find the answer and it's so simple I am almost embarrassed to write it here.

The email client we're all using here is Outlook 2000. I was sending it with the < a h r e f . . . and all of that in front of it. I erased it and just wrote the URL and it made it a link on it's own.

Thank you for the reply UncaDanno.
