Hello - I have created a simple contact list (300 entries) and everything is
running fine EXCEPT when I want to send an email to the person in my address
book I can only seem to get Outlook Express to open - not actually open an
email message with the subjects address in the 'To' line. Is this possible?
I created a macro with RunApp to open Outlook Express but don't seem to know
how to get it to insert the subjects email address in a blank message... is
this possible without too much fuss? Is there another line in the macro I
can add that'll insert the information in the 'To' line?
 
Disregard - I found a previous post that told me what I needed to add in the
SendObject macro! Steve Schapel had already identified the following;
Make a macro (from your Database Window, select the Macro tab, and then
click New), and enter the SendObject action in the Action column. Press
F1 to read the Help topic for this action. This macro will be saved,
and assigned on the On Click event property of the Command Button on
your form. In the macro arguments (the bit down the bottom of the
screen), you can do like this...

Object Type, Object Name, etc leave blank.
To: =[EmailAddress]
Subject: ="Welcome to " & [Company]
Message Text: ="Congratulations to " & [Program Contact] & " on your
achievement."
