How do I send a document as attachment and fill in email address?
I have created a Word 2000 Document as a Form. On the Form I have a Button
which can send the whole Form (Document) as a Mail Attachment by using the following (which i copied from the help file by searching around)... Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Options.SendMailAttach = True ActiveDocument.SendMail End Sub When the Buton is 'Clicked' it Opens Outlook Express with the Form attached OK. So far - so good. How can I arrange for the Button to ALSO fill in the email address i.e the 'To:' Address with an address of my choice thus automating the return of the filled form to me? At prewsent a user has to fill in my email address and could (often does) make a mistake. Finally, will the Button work with earlier and later versions of 'Word' Thanks, Ray7071 |

How do I send a document as attachment and fill in email address?
I think that you are going to have to use Outlook for this, not Outlook
Express because AFAIK it cannot be automated. See the article "How to send an email from Word using VBA" at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/SendMail.htm -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Ray7071" wrote in message ...

Hi Ray:
You might wish to look into the SendObject Action, selecting all the text in your document and sending it off either as a txt or rtf among other document types.

How do I send a document as attachment and fill in email address?
The referenced article seems to refer to Access, and the result seems to
send the object (and none of the objects described is a Word document, much less a protected form) in the body of the email. If the arguments in the SendObject Action that provide the recipient, subject line, etc., are applicable to a Word VBA command, however, this would be helpful. -- Suzanne S.

How do I send a document as attachment and fill in email addre
Hi Suzanne:
Yeah, you're right. The sendobject action will work in MS Word, but only to place the text within the body of the email. It doesn't allow attachments from within the MS Word platform, which is too bad- it is a fast and slick MS Access action! Anyhow, for those interested in seeing how it works in a limited manner, download the Word template called "Gettysburg Address" here- http://www.box.net/shared/static/70zd8lhk40.dot. All you have to do is to bring it up, then click on the toolbar item called "Project.AutoMacros.popuserform". Once you place your email in the textbox supplied on the form, it'll scoop up the template's Gettysburg Address text and send it off in the email, sans the picture of Abraham Lincoln.
