I need to send out a word document that I will need to have my sales reps
fill out. I would like to add a link at the bottom of that word document that
when clicked will automatically send that word document with the changes made
to me as an attachment in an email. Basically what I'm asking... is there a
way to automate the "file/send/as attachment" feature with a button embedded
in the word doc? Word 2003
Sub SendDocumentInMail()
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
On Error Resume Next
'Get Outlook if it's running
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
'Outlook wasn't running, start it from code
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
End If
'Create a new mailitem
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
'Set the recipient for the new email
.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
'Set the recipient for a copy
.CC = "(e-mail address removed)"
'Set the subject
.Subject = "New subject"
'The content of the document is used as the body for the email
.Body = ActiveDocument.Content
.Send
End With
If bStarted Then
'If we started Outlook from code, then close it
oOutlookApp.Quit
End If
'Clean up
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub
Sub SendDocumentAsAttachment()
Dim bStarted As Boolean
Dim oOutlookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oItem As Outlook.MailItem
On Error Resume Next
If Len(ActiveDocument.Path) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Document needs to be saved first"
Exit Sub
End If
Set oOutlookApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err <> 0 Then
Set oOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
bStarted = True
End If
Set oItem = oOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oItem
.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
.Subject = "New subject"
'Add the document as an attachment, you can use the .displayname
property
'to set the description that's used in the message
.Attachments.Add Source:=ActiveDocument.FullName, Type:=olByValue,
_
DisplayName:="Document as attachment"
.Send
End With
If bStarted Then
oOutlookApp.Quit
End If
Set oItem = Nothing
Set oOutlookApp = Nothing
End Sub
