I have 2 email addresses. Need to automate "From"

I am using Outlook2000
I have 2 email addresses (eg): (e-mail address removed) &
(e-mail address removed) set up in separate Services (accounts)

Sometimes I send mail and want the recipient to see that it's From
jqpublic and other times From jqprivate. I can easily type this into
the From but I'd like to have a VBA macro connected to a Toolbar
button for each that will automatically create a new email message and
automatically put the appropriate From address in for me. I know how
to write VBA code but I can't seem to write code for the From
field...because, as I understand, it's "Read Only". I do not want to
use the "SentOnBehalfOfName". Can anyone provide a solution for this?

Thanks.
 
If you are not using Exchange, you can change the displayed From address on
the recipient's end by using Outlook Redemption:

If you are using Exchange, then you need to give the sending user "Send As"
rights (not Send on Behalf of via Delegation) on the chosen delivery mailbox
in order for the latter name to be displayed:

You'd also need to use CDO to do it this way:

Regardless if this is with Exchange or not, if you already have permissions
to send via another mailbox, or relay via another ISP, then you don't need
code. Just create a new e-mail message, change the address in the From
field, and save the message as an .oft file. When you want to send from that
account, use a macro, file shortcut or command-line argument to automatically
create the message for you.
