Karen,
Larry is correct that it depends on the receiving end as to whether you can click on the URL or have to cut and paste. All I did was type the URL into the body and the email program automatically sends it as a URL that is clickable. But as Larry said, it depends on the receiving side as to whether they can click on it or have to cut and paste. I have received many emails from people where part of the body stated you can click on the URL. But often they also have a line stating they can cut and paste if it is not clickable. You may want to include that statement.

How did you type "www...com" in there? I'm assuming you cannot embed an underline format, so did you just type the address in there, and then the email itself "turned it into a url" so to speak?

Set the body to a var SET VAR vbody TEXT = + 'Body:Please pay by clicking on www.jbelisleme.com. Thanks!' Try something like that. I just sent this to my email and all I did was click on it and the web site came up.

What I'm wondering is -- can I make a clickable link? That's what they have asked me for.

It would be like any other email one would receive from vendors.

They are quite "backwards" and are only now considering doing email from their app (they don't even collect email addresses at this point). But now we're starting to talk about it. My first question: we want to send an email with an invoice PDF attachment. Is there a way, either in the email message or on the PDF, to embed a link like "click here to pay online" that would direct them to a website? Secondly, could you do it in 7.6 or do they need 9.5?
