Thank Jim

Will give it a try

My concern is if they don't have MS Outlook :(
What about Windows Mail? or some other.

I would like it to execute regardless of the mail program they use.

Try this

Dim objol As New Outlook.Application
Dim objmail As MailItem
Set objol = New Outlook.Application
Set objmail = objol.createitem(olmailitem)

With objmail
.To = "XXXXXXXXX " 'enter in here the email address
' .cc = "whoever" 'enter in here the email address
.Subject = "test email for Peter Bircher"
.Body = "Please find attached the test email" & _
vbCrLf & "If you have any queries can you please let me
know" & vbCrLf
.NoAging = True
' .Attachments.Add pathname 'adds attachment to email
.display
End With
Set objmail = Nothing
Set objol = Nothing
SendKeys "%{s}", True 'send the email without prompts

Hi all

I have written a routine (see below) to create an email from the clients
machine
This is triggered when the contents of a specific cell is changed

It works well except that I would like it to send it "behind the scene"
without giving the client the option of not sending it!

I don't know whether this is possible . . .

Sub SendEmail()
Dim AddressString As String

AddressString = "mailto:" & " & "?subject=" _
& "This is the subject" & "&body=" & "This is in the body"

ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=AddressString

End Sub

Is there some code that I can insert that will go on to put it, preferably
hidden (like a read receipt), in the outbox automatically?

Thanks, in anticipation
