    Send email using Active Cell but using external Outlook / Livemail template

    Greetings from a Newb in Arizona.

    First of all, please forgive my Naiveté and the fact that this question has likely already been asked or that this may be a question better suited for an Outlook board (who? where?).

    I use excel spreadsheets that include names, addresses, email addys, etc. I have also created a 'default template' for Outlook that already has the subject, message I want to send and the (default) appropriate files I want to attach.

    My need is this: I want to arrow down to a cell (where-ever in the spreadsheet it happens to reside) that has a customer's email addy. I then want to run a macro that uses that Active Cell, calls up the default email program and uses a SPECIFIC mail template.

    Am I even making sense? Yes, I know that if I simply CLICK on the [email protected] cell it will open a BLANK email message, but I need it to open a SPECIFIC outlook template depending on the macro I choose.

    ie, if I want to send sales files to this particular addy, I go to the addy, run the macro SALES, and that opens the Sales external (outlook, etc) template using the addy in the Active Cell. However, if I want to send Info (rather than sales stuff), then i run a different macro, INFO, and that opens a *different* external email template using this addy.

    your response either on this board or directly to me ( sellen at aol dot com) would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Regards,

    Hi,
    you seem to suggest that you may want to use more than one email client (Outlook and Livemail) in which case you will need code for each client.

    As far as Outlook goes:
    - build the templates in Outlook
    - create a reference to the outlook object in VBA
    - You can state whether to create a new email from a specific template
    - the address is easy to find from the object model.
