Starting Outlook express with macro

Hi

I'm wondering if it's possible to start outlook express from within a macro in excel that reads a mail adress from a given cell

Thanks

Roar

Hi Roar
Have a look @ Johns site

I think this is for Outlookexpress

An example of Outlook;

You need to reference the Outlook object library file

Msoutl.Olb


Sub SendMessage(DisplayMsg As Boolean, Optional AttachmentPath)
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment

' Create the Outlook session.
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

' Create the message.

Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With objOutlookMsg
' Add the To recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Nancy Davolio")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo

' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Michael Suyama")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC

' Add the BCC recipient(s) to the message.

Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Andrew Fuller")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olBCC

' Set the Subject, Body, and Importance of the message.
.Subject = "This is an Automation test with Microsoft Outlook"
.Body = "This is the body of the message." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
.Importance = olImportanceHigh 'High importance

' Add attachments to the message.
If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then

Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)
End If

' Resolve each Recipient's name.
For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
objOutlookRecip.Resolve
Next

' Should we display the message before sending?
If DisplayMsg Then
.Display
Else
.Send
End If

End With
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
