Try this link, I just tested this as a macro and works. You can save the macro as a button to execute. The only downside is, when you execute, you will get an outlook prompt, that will say " a program is trying to send email automatically..." I think this only occurs on Outlook 2003, but not sure. You can use a utility called click yes that will bypass this. Or find\write another macro that does not use mapi. http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=310 <http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=310> ________________________________ From: Chris Wall [mailto:Chris.Wall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 2:43 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Automating the 'Email' process in a Word document http://www.MSExchange.org/ I have searched and racked my brain over the following: I have created several forms in MS Word and would like to create a 'button' in the document that automatically sends the Word document as an attachment to our helpdesk e-mail address. (so end users can submit various types of requests) I have tried adding fields - no luck I have tried adding macros - no luck This should be a simple process, but it is consuming way too much of my day. No, I do not want to use public folders with published forms. I am posting these Word Doc Forms on sharepoint, and just want to add a button that will automatically send as an attachment to the correct e-mail address. Anyone got any links to resources on this? And yes I have googled it, but nothing really works. Thanks for reading this 'off topic' request.
