Email Form with conditional attachments and text
I'm not sure if this is possible, thought I'd post here and pray!
I would like to be able to create a Form with Drop down Menus. the 1st drop down menu will include Locations, i.e London Edinburgh Manchester 2nd drop down menu would be different Courses, i.e French English Spanish What I would like the form to achieve; 1. Auto Generate an email 2. Include text in the body of the email thats specific to the choices made on the drop down menus. 3. Add attachments to the email based on the infomation included in the drop down menu, i.e email a Map, and perhaps course summary. 4. Do all this with minimal inputs i.e enter email address, click drop down menu's 1,2,3 etc, then click send

Email Form with conditional attachments and text
You can use Template Phrases for Outlook at
http://www.ablebits.com/outlook-temp...ases/index.php. What I would do is to create 9 templates ( Locations.Count multiplied by Courses.Count) that would include the AttachFile macro. The WriteSubject macro is provided, too. This allows me to enter the e-address and click on the template entry in a form embedded into my mail inspector window. That's easy. Oh, the add-in allows exporting and importing the templates you create. Regards from Belarus, Andrei Smolin Add-in Express Team Leader www.add-in-express.com .. "Dioxin" wrote in message ...

Email Form with conditional attachments and text
does this mean that I need to include a template for each and every outcome...
so that just say I have 5 Locations and 10 Courses.... I'd need 50 templates? just seems a bit much. I'd have thought that "IF" statements could achieve this in a more reduced manner.

so that just say I have 5 Locations and 10 Courses.... I'd need 50 templates? You can organize them in 5 folders (10 templates per folder) or in 10 folders (5 templates per folder). I think that you can solve the problem in a far more faster and cheaper way if you use this add-in. Just compare the time you will spend on entering 50 almost identical texts and the time you spend on developing the add-in code, debugging it, creating a setup projects and debugginig it. If you like the idea of a form embedded into inspector windows, you can use Add-in Express Extensions (http://www.add-in-express.com/outlook-extension/) which is part of Add-in Express (.NET, VSTO, and VCL editions).
