Open blank email from command button

[bobsyeruncle]

I have been on the internet for a couple of hours trying to figure this out.

I dont do VB ... i have tried to get my head round it but am struggling.

I have a command button that i want to click and it opens a blank email with the senders name in the TO section.

can someone take me through it step by step

Peeeasse

A simple method is to use the .FollowHyperlink like this:

Application.FollowHyperlink "mailto:user@domain.com"

If you have a control on the form wiotht eh email address then use something like:

Application.FollowHyperlink "mailto:" & Me.txtEmail

Thanks .... i ended up using a sendto command using a blank report.

It seems to work

i don't think i've ever seen or heard anyone mention that approach. so simple.
