I would like use VBA to insert Hyperlinks for mail item attachments into an Outlook userform.

Mail items would be handled one at a time and the code would be run by a command button on the (inspector) ribbon of opened mail items. This would save all the item's attachments to the hard drive and then insert hyperlinks to these file locations into a userform -- either into a label or a textbox.

I've found some good ideas online but all are for Excel userforms / use excel functions. For example: Excel Tips From John Walkenbach: Adding A Hyperlink To A Userform

Any suggestions on accomplishing this on an Outlook userform?

If not, maybe an excel form or functionality can somehow be used?

Thanks for any suggestions

You can call the browser directly -
Code: 
Private Sub Label1_Click()

    Set objWeb = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    objWeb.Navigate Controls("Label1").Caption
    objWeb.Visible = True
    Unload Me
End Sub
 
If you wanted to use a pretty link you can put the url in the ControlTipText or Tag property of the control and change the code to use that property - or just put the url in the code
objWeb.Navigate "http // the url goes here"

Thank you for the quick and interesting response Diane, I will start working with it.

The examples you give use internet explorer and link to the web, what I want to do is use hyperlinks to open files on the hard drive. Could this also be accomplished?
 
Thinking about this ... if the labels can be programmed to populate with the file paths of the saved attachments, then maybe the label click event could call a File System Object sub (etc) that would open the file?
