Preset fields in Lotus Notes Code

[J.W. Aldridge]

Hi.

I have a GOOD code that sends the active sheet from Excel via Lotus
Notes to recipients.

I would like to change a 3 things though...

(1) Instead of asking me the subject, I would like to name the subject
in the code so it wont ask. Just send.

(2) Instead of asking for the recipients, I already know the names.
Can I also enter these into the code? (several names that are being
sent via internal mail within Unity).

(3) Instead of sending the entire sheet, can I name a cell range in
the code to send in the body as a picture or bitmap? (for example
B1:L22, or a named range "datax" )

Thanx

For 1 and 2 you can replace the input boxes with the actual addresses/
subject. (or refer to a range or file containing the values)

vaRecipient = "(e-mail address removed)"
stSubject = "BCS"

To send stuff in the body of the email, you don't need attachments.

not sure if this will work:
vaMsg = c:\image.bmp 'path to image file
