Hi,

I have created a macro to send email automatically using MS Outlook. I now
need a macro which will automatically enable the voting buttons, prompting
the receipts to reply by yes or no.

Thanks for any help.

Voting buttons can be created/added using custom actions. Search on
www.outlookcode.com for samples using custom actions, there are a number of
them there.

Thanks Ken,

My macro is not going into Outlook. It is activating the Excel file and
using the send To from the file menu to send the email through Outlook. Is
there a way I can change the default of the new mail in Outlook to always
enable voting button while sending. If not, can I add something in my macro.
I am writing my macro to help you help me. please advise where I can include
the voting button enabling option.

Sub SEND_MAILS_AUTOMATIC()


Dim MACRO_FILE_NAME, MACRO_SHEET, MACRO_SH1 As String
Dim FILE_DIR, MAIL_SUB, MAIL_BODY_1, BU_ID, YTD_ID, QTD_ID, PER_ID,

End Sub

End With
Workbooks(FLS_ID).Route
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

End Sub

Thanks again for your help!!

The Excel Send To functionality uses Simple MAPI to open an email using your
default mail handler, assuming the mail handler supports MAPI. The item, if
an Outlook item, is opened as a modal Inspector. To do what you want you
would have to use the Outlook object model and not the Simple MAPI call,
unless your voting buttons are always the same and from a custom Outlook
form that is made the default for all message forms.
