I think we understood correctly the first time. The code you got wouldn't be applicable at all unless you can use a custom message form, which is an appropriate only in the narrow case where all users use Outlook exclusively as their mail client and either (a) you can publish a form to the Organizational Forms library or (b) you can persuade every user to publish the form to their own Personal Forms library.

That's why I suggested that, since you have a spreadsheet to send around, you might put the "reply" functionality in the spreadsheet itself, so you don't have to delve into Outlook custom forms.

Hello. Thank you both for your replies. I obviously did not explain
my situation correctly. The code in my original post is in the Excel
spreadsheet itself. The users open up their spreadsheet, fill out
their purchase request, and they press a button that emails the
spreadsheet as an attachment and makes a copy of Sheet1 in the body of
the email.

Depending on the total dollar amount of a cell in the spreadsheet, the
email gets routed to the appropriate individuals for approval. When
the first approver receives the email, he/she REPLIES to the email and
the reply continues to the next next person in line for approval.
Since the users REPLY to the emails, the attachment (the excel
spreadsheet) is not retained. That is the reason I have it copying and
pasting to the body of the email, so the approvers can reference the
picture of the document if they need to. It would be pretty cool if
the attachment remained with the email every time someone replied to
it, so we wouldn't have to copy and paste into the body of the emial.
It would also print out nicer if it remained an attachment.
