    Welcome to the forum.

    There are two ways to get the address for a link. It depends on how the link was entered. Was it by =Hyperlink or by Ctrl+K? For these 2 methods, see: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=359874

    Did you want to send it with the Hyperlink text or just the address? You can attach an xls with you link(s) if you like.

    Lotus requires that you be more formal with web addresses. In your case, you will need to use the web address or fix it in your code. e.g.
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    If you are using other addresses that should have the mailto or ftp prefix's, you will need to fix those accordingly.

    Did you try what I demonstrated? If you do as I demonstrated, it will work.

    As I explained in the referenced thread, Lotus Notes makes it into a hyperlink when you send it "IF" you have a formal address.

    From the code that you posted, I could not see where you added the http:// prefix as I detailed.

    However, no fix will work if the user has their preference set to not use hotspots. They set or unset it in Lotus Notes: File > Preferences > User Preferences... > Basics > Additional Options > Mark Internet URLs (Http://....) into Hotspots > OK.
