It'd depend a lot on what you need to do and what software you assume is
present.

If all you need to do is get the email client started up with a new blank
email addressed to some...@someplace.not then you could shellexecute
mailto:some...@someplace.not

To test, just go to a DOS prompt and type

start mailto:the_email_address

If the machine doesn't have a default email client, this obviously won't
work. You'd have to include full email code in your VBA and I promise you,
that leads to a lot of even uglier problems.

If you need to set more than the address of the email, you can set the
subject and other parts with special syntax added to the end of the email
url, but I don't recall what it is; more to the point, it doesn't work with
all email clients, so is probably best avoided.

Question for you: do you have a web site? It might be far simpler to
create a form there that works with a backend CGI script to deliver your
mail.

Thanks for answering,
I agree, maybe it will be better to make a hyperlinck to the website.

many thanks again
Marc.
