Clickable link on Outlook HTML Body
 

The a href tag is the way to go, for instance:

a href='http://www.whatever.comclick me/a

Michael is correct about the a tag. If it's not working for you, show the
relevant code.

I have experienced the same problem when trying to add a clickable hyperlink to an email's HTML body. This was caused by spaces in the full pathname of the file.
The solution that I used is to replace spaces with "%20" in the address portion of the a href.
Assuming you stored the full path of the link into a string named hyperlink, use the following to perform the replacement mentioned above.
Replace(hyperlink, " ", "%20")
