Automatically adding an attachment to an email (from Powerpoint)

[Lazlo Woodbine]

I'm putting together an 'interactive' Powerpoint Presentation where I am
providing information but also, through the use of VBA Textboxes allowing
people to enter comments (I'm basically showing some 'plans' for an area and
consulting people on their views - i though a slide show with limited
interaction might be a good idea).

The big question is how to compile people's comments and then get them
emailed back to me. The most logical option, IMO, would be to compile the
comments into a text file and then have that emailed to me as an attachment.

What I want to do is for pepole to comment, then press a button and for
Outlook to open with the address, subject header and attachment to be in
place.

I can do the email address and subject - but can't work out how to do the
attachement. Is it possible?

Alternatively, is there another way of transferring comments from PP to the
email.

Thanks

Laz

email.

As the body of the Outlook message rather than as an attachment, perhaps?

Thanks, but how do I do that?

I can help you with the PPT end if you like but as to Outlook, not a clue.
See Bill Foley's reply in the PPT newsgroup though ... he's posted some code
that might just do it for you.
