Making a CDONTS e-mail link open in a new window

[cyberbob2]

How can I make the following link which I am creating on my asp page open in a new window?

strBody = strBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "

http://test/test/Test_Admin/loginEdit.asp?key="

& key

I've tried surrounding this with <a href> tags, using a jscript 'open' function, I thought this would be a quick little thing but it's turning out to be quite a little project. If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
KP

Wrapping <a> </a> tags with target="_blank" would work for webmail, but it will depend on the mail client and how the recipient has their client setup for others.

Well, thanks, but you're wrong. The solution is to do this:
strBody = strBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "

http://test/test/test/loginEdit.asp?key="

& key & " target='_blank'"

This is because Outlook adds the <a href></a> tags.

Thanks for trying.

not everybody uses outlook and not every mail client does that

some clients you will end up with a link (or text) that is

http*://test/test/test/loginEdit.asp?key=1target='_blank'
