I have this in cell B2: =HYPERLINK("MAILTO:"&R2&"&subject="&B2&"?BCC="&C2&"&body="&D2,"Send Email")
If I left click on this link it opens up an email in my default mail program. (Outlook)
I want to be able to 'follow' this link without using the mouse, in other words I need a keyboard shortcut or a macro which would essentially simulate a left mouse click. I only need to do this for the highlighted cell or the active cell.
I'm using Excel 2016 on a Windows 10 machine, 64 bit. I'm new to Macros, so I could use some specific help. Thanks in advance.
