I wanted to send new newsgroup message to 30 students with a different
Newsgrop ID Name. from EXCEL to OUTLOOK EXPRESS.

The code below will post an email from Outlook to as many people as I want.
However, I want to post a message to a 30 different newsgroups instead of
emails.

I think ShellExecute 0& is the key see below. This code will open an
email page from Outlook Express to post an regular email, I want it to open
a newsgroup message page from Outlook express instead. Please see below

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As
String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Sub SendEMail()
Dim Email As String, Subj As String
Dim Msg As String, URL As String
Dim r As Integer, x As Double

For r = 2 To 2 'data in rows 2-4
' Get the email address
Email = Cells(r, 2)

' Message subject
Subj = Cells(r, 1)

' Compose the message
Msg = Cells(r, 3)

' Replace spaces with %20 (hex)
Subj = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Subj, " ", "%20")
Msg = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Msg, " ", "%20")

' Replace carriage returns with %0D%0A (hex)
Msg = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(Msg, vbCrLf,
"%0D%0A")

' Create the URL
URL = "mailto:" & Email & "?subject=" & Subj & "&body=" & Msg

' Execute the URL (start the email client)
ShellExecute 0&, vbNullString, URL, vbNullString, vbNullString,
vbNormalFocus

' Wait two seconds before sending keystrokes
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
' Application.SendKeys "%s"
Next r
End Sub
