Hi,

I regularly have to send emails to a couple of recipients and find locating
them in the address book tedious.

Can anyone tell me how to put a button on a toolbat that will create a new
mail message with the recipients name already there?

Thanks

Stuart, you can create a template with that addresses and store it e.g. in
the drafts folder. If that e-mail has an unique subject you can call it
easily with:

Public Sub DisplayTemplate()
Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDraft s) _
.Items("YourTemplate").Display
End Sub

Right click on the toolbar, select Customize/Commands/Macros/Macro Name and
drag that name onto the toolbar.

See the topic "Add a custom address list to your Outlook toolbar". You fill
out the addressee and you can optionally fill out the subject. (Not
applicable to my version of Outlook 2000 at home but I use it at work.)

The second site describes how to create a template (.oft) file. It is a bit
more flexible, you need not fill in the addressee. Rather than linking to the
email address as described above, link to the File in your Template folder.
In addition to addressee and subject you can fill out some/all of the body of
the email. You can put these on a menu or toolbar button as well.

I use a simple 'SendKeys' Macro to accomplish this.

Sub Mail2Person()
'sends Ctrl + N to create new mail window.
SendKeys "^" + "n"
'Assuming you are in the TO: field inputs the address.
SendKeys "
'Enter
SendKeys "~"
'Tab twice to ge tto the Subject field.
SendKeys "{TAB 2}"
End Sub


It's a simple macro that has worked for me, all I do is assign a button on
the toolbar and I'm set.
