Outlook macro question

[c mateland]

I have two email accounts in Outlook 2003. I know about the Accounts
drop list in new emails. But is it possible to create a few macros so
that I end up with two buttons where each runs a macro that starts a
new email using a specific account? One button would start a new email
using account 1 and the other button would start a new email using
account 2. If so, could someone please give me some pointers?

Thanks.

Google'ing this, I still can't find a clear cut answer to this. I find
no complete code that works. So, I built two routines using Sendkeys.

Sub Acct02SndKeys()
SendKeys "^+m"
SendKeys "%n"
SendKeys "2"
End Sub

Sub Acct01SndKeys()
SendKeys "^+m"
SendKeys "%n"
SendKeys "1"
End Sub

I then made the macro buttons for a toolbar and it seems to work fine.

Any dangers in using this or is there truly a better way?

Thanks.
