MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / August 2006Email action button
Can I create an Action Button that will compose a new email from lotus notes and pre fill the subject and body and send to a pre designated email address. Hi, You could start it by a hyperlink from an object. Set it as an email address and a subject. It would look something like this: mailto: [email address]?subject=[your subject] But in all seriousness, you need vba!

Thank you for your post. However After reading the dsecriptions I am not sure that is my answer. I am looking to generate an email to someone with a subject (which a link does just fine) but I also want to prepopulate the Body of that email and have it send with out the user having to do anything. > Take a look at PFCExpress, its already been done for you. <g> > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > and pre fill the subject and body and send to a pre designated email > > address.

Bill Foley (http://pttinc.com/) has some VBA that does this. The problem is that the code is email-client specific. I know he has it work in Outlook, but I'm not surewhat other email apps he has it for. --David SignatureDavid M.

So, basically, from a PPT show, you want the user to click a button and have an email form pop up? You can right-click the button, choose hyperlink or action setting, and in the Hyperlink To dropdown select URL. type in mailto:email@address (example mailto:example@echosvoiceUGHSPAMdotcom I don't know how you'd fill in the subject and message body, though.

Select an object, choose Insert|Hyperlink, and in the Hyperlink dialog box, choose Email clear down on the lower left. You can fill in the address and subject there. (Still no message body, though.)

If the user gets email via a web interface rather than with a computer-based email client, for example. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
