i want to have a control button which would send an email to a specified
e-mail address . The goal would be be able to click a button which sends the
contents of a cell as the subject line from my work e-mail address (which I
can only access using Lotus Notes) to some outgoing email address.

Normally, I just copy the contents of the cell, log into my lotus notes
email account, paste onto the subject line, and send an e-mail. But I would
like to automate this proccess using some sort of excel programming. Would
appreciate ideas. Xavier.
