Hi Andre
Yes, you can do this, although you'll have to use some
VBA. In your document, open the "Control Toolbox"
toolbar. Insert a button onto your form or document.
Double-click on the button whilst in the Design Mode. You
should see the VBA editor appear and show you a routine
called "Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()" or similar.
Paste the following code into the sub (change the
filename, subject and email address to suit) :
'------------------------------
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="c:\mydoc.doc"
ActiveDocument.HasRoutingSlip = True
With ActiveDocument.RoutingSlip
.Subject = "Your form is attached"
.AddRecipient "youremail@email.com"
End With
ActiveDocument.Route
'------------------------------
This is probably the easiest way, but there are some
drawbacks. The email message will contain the following
text as the body:
"The attached document has a routing slip. When you are
done reviewing this document, choose Next Routing
Recipient from the Microsoft Office Word Send To menu on
the File menu to return the document to its sender."
If you're familiar with VBA, and you have Outlook
installed as your email program, you can send the doc as
an attachment to a standard outlook based email. Its a
little more complex, but using this method you can at
least specify the text body. If you want to learn more
about that sort of thing, have a look at
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/SendMail.htm).
Good luck,
Dennis
