How can I launch a new email message?

[michaaal]

What code enter for my button that I would like to have launch a new mail
message?

(I would think I might use something like this....?)

Shell(mailto:[email protected])

You can use:

application.FollowHyperlink "mailto:[email protected]"


The above would launch email with my name....

 

[michaaal]

application.FollowHyperlink "mailto:[email protected]"

This worked great!

I actually used a link like this...
application.FollowHyperlink mailto:[email protected]&subject=This is the
subject&body=This is the body

Is there a way to make the message automatically "send"?

Thanks!!

Hum.....making it send right away?

In those cases, I would start to recommend that you consider using outlook,
and NOT outlook express.

If you are using outlook, then you can have it send (but, there is some
security nags that do pop up..).

Do you have outlook?

I see.. Yes, I do have Outlook, but I was really trying to get my database
to send about 10 emails automatically. I could always use CDO's programmed
in VBA, right?
