Share account for testing file access from a hyperlink in a received EMail
Share account for testing file access from a hyperlink in a received EMail
In support of a possible solution to this post in this Thread:
http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...0724#post10724
It is required to have a simple hyperlink to an Excel File appear in the received Email sent to members of a team.
I am not sure currently how to get a link directly to the File.
An second alternative involves storing the file at a File sharing site and using the link to the file as the URL part of a hyperlink.
This post discusses the setting up of such an account to allow storing of, and sharing via a supplied link to, the file.
As an example of a file sharing site we consider the free version of box.net
Some googling my be needed to finally get at the free version which may go under the name of “free” , “Individual rate”, “Personal free”
Currently you need to find your way to the free 10GB offer. This is currently at this link:

Various steps are then gone through, they may be slightly different to the following:
At some point you should you should see the possibility to upload a file, following steps similar to these:

Instructions:
Three files are attached. Please download them and store them all somewhere on your computer. They can be stored anywhere, but important is that they are all stored in the same Folder :
All 3 files stored in same place.JPG : https://imgur.com/rFu0TML
Please open only one file “Test File xxxx to send EMail containing Hyperlinks to Files.xlsm”
Enable macros.
There are three codes in file “Test File xxxx to send EMail containing Hyperlinks to Files.xlsm”.
The codes are very similar, differing only in the Email account used as the .Sender:
Sub SendfromDocAlnsteinGermanTelekom()
Sub SendfromFahrradprinzessinunterwegsgmail()
Sub SendfromExcelVBAExpgmail()
Please try to run those codes.
Each code should send you an Email which on arrival will look something similar to this:
Typical received EMail.JPG : https://imgur.com/4oNXNtW
Please click on the 5 Hyperlinks and tell me what happens.
My final goal is to get a Hyperlink which when clicked opens an Excel or Word File.
I have tested the codes sending to my gmail and German Telekom Email accounts.
But so far, only link 1 works. But link 1 does not open a file: It simply sends you to a file sharing site. So link 1 is a temporary solution for me.
Code for Thai in next post....

2 To add a File to the current post:
Steps like the following are needed to attach a file to the current post. It may look a little bit different on your computer
_ Add Files.JPG : https://imgur.com/hIdo0Av
_ SelectFiles.JPG : https://imgur.com/9XZJuig
_ UploadFiles5.JPG : https://imgur.com/f0PXtVA
_ Done6.JPG : https://imgur.com/a6oFeIQ
That's it!...:)
The file should now have been attached.
_._______
Practice before posting in a main Thread:
You can practice uploading a file by starting a new test thread here:
http://www.excelfox.com/forum/forumd...p/17-Test-Area
Give the Thread a title such as …"Just testing. No Reply needed"
Test Area new Thread 1 .JPG , Test Area new Thread just testing .JPG https://imgur.com/S3uneWf , https://imgur.com/gUFHcBp
You can then practice uploading attachments or you can also practice any other posting and editing features, such as code tags ( http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...0690#post10690 )
_._____________________________
Alternative to attaching a file: post a link to your file held at a file share site:
See here for example:

Excel and Excel VBA , usually has no issues if you use the full reference in situations where one of the shorter versions may have been sufficient. But on the other hand, you may get unexpected problems if you used a shorter version , and Excel then guesses wrongly for the remaining part, which I believe it always adds internally, ( possibly at some compiling stage ) , before it uses it.
