Word sendmail command - reference?

[Charles Kenyon]

Office 2003 Pro

I am trying to write a macro that sends a protected form as an attachment
and creates parts of the email from the formfields. (It is a phone message.)
The email program is Outlook.

I know how to get the info from the formfields, I just don't know how to put
it into the email message as subject or message body.

Also, can I specify the recipient in the macro? Can I issue the send
command? (I would like the person taking the message to just be able to
press a Send button and not have to mess with the email message at all.)

Can anyone recommend references on the sendmail command, or do I want to be
programming Outlook? I have Sue Mosher's programming Outlook 2003.

I'm not very familiar with SendMail but you certainly can do all that using
the Outlook object model.

Sub Whatever(s As String, b As String)
Dim oOL As Outlook.Application
Dim oMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oNS As Outlook.NameSpace

Set oOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set oNS = oOL.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
oNS.Logon "", "", False, False

Set oMail = oOL.CreateItem(olMailItem)
oMail.Subject = s
oMail.Body = b
oMail.Recipients.Add "(e-mail address removed)"
oMail.Recipients.ResolveAll
oMail.Display

' oMail.Send to send it
