Hyperlink to Outlook Attachment
10,544
Sure, you can refer to an attachment by its content-id. Look at the code below setting the <a> tag in the HTML body and the PR_ATTACH_CONTENT_ID property on the attachment:
set msg = Application.CreateItem(0)
msg.To = "[email protected]"
msg.Subject = "test link"
msg.HTMLBody = "<html><body>click <a href=""cid:attachCid"">here</a> to open attachment</body></html>"
set attach = msg.Attachments.Add("c:\temp\test.txt")
attach.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty "http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3712001F", "attachCid"
msg.Send

When you attach a document to an outlook email, a copy of the document is created and stored somewhere. You can obviously link to any location in the body of outlook. A hyperlink to a local document will not be useful to a recipient on another machine (without access to the local drive).
But, is there a way to hyperlink to an attached file? I don't think that there is any native way to do this, but is there any possible solution?
If it matters, the email will only be read by outlook. (i.e. intra office).
