Hi all,

I'm something of a newbie when it comes to VB, and have now become well and truly stuck.

Basically I'm working on a form in Word that will be sent out to a large number of recipients and will be saved locally by them.

In the form, there is a button, that when the click on it, will automatically attach the form they've just filled in to an email with my address included, and then allow them to add any additional text, before requiring them to click on Send.

Unfortunately, I can't expect the dummies to always save the form prior to clicking on the "Email to Tom" button as I want them to be able to use a fresh, virginal form each time, so I need a Macro that attaches it unsaved, allows them to add text in the body of the email, and then send.

I've tried Routeslip, but that keeps bringing up all sorts of "a program is trying to access e-mail addresses" messages... I've seen some suggestions of how to avoid these, but my recipients have differing versions of Outlook and Word.

Could anyone give me some advice on this, and please dumb it down a bit for me so that I know what you're talking about!!

Much appreciated!
