I need to be able to open the defalut email client off of any computer. Then I need it to insert the email addresss in the TO: prompt and either make an attachment or paste info from excel into the body of the email.
Thanks

Look back at your original post in vb help for my last answer.

I did but it didn't work either. I came up with the same error and highlights .hwndx

I don't know what all you've tried, and this may not work with anything but Outlook, but let me know what you get with this:

Call Shell("Start.exe mailto:testl@test.com?Subject=TestSubject&Body=TestBody", vbHide)

Where do I put it? In a seperate function or in the one I already have?

I put it in a seperate module by its self and it came up with the default email client but didn't put in the subject or body

What is your default e-mail client? It may turn out this requires actual VB with an MAPI control since it sounds like everything everyone has tried doesn't want to work for you.

I don't think you'll be able to do this any other way than with a VB app then.

Ok Thanks. If I get the VB App. and get this to work. Does everyone that has my software and wants to use this feature going to have to have the VB App.

No, but they will need to install your app (.exe) on their machine. If you don't use anything but basic functions, the app should work on most machines without installation, but since you're going to be using MAPI it would probably need to be installed after being packaged with an install-maker.

what program are you referring to? Where can I buy it from??

I'm required to sent emails alerts/notifications using outlook....

KesleyK

The default install maker that comes with VB is Package and Development Wizard. There have been quite a few discussions about other install maker programs on the VB Help forum that you should be able to find through the search utility if you need more information about them.
