button click send email ?

[bobheart]

I looked around but didn't find aything how do you do a button click and send an email ?

So say I want someone to click the button and it opens thier email with my email address in it ?

Not sure is that you mean but...

You can execute, when the user clicks the button, a command like:

Run(@comspec & ' /c start mailto:ezzetabi@katamail.com','',@sw_hide)

Strange, it works for me...

Maybe it works only in Win2000/Xp?

Or maybe you have no default program for emails?

Try blat or bmail command line tools to actually send an email to a recipient instead of just popping up the mail program.

[ezzetabi]

But do you want send a email or pop up the program?

Try creating a simple html file with "mailto: ". This should activate your default e-mail program.

You can even use AutoIT to create the HTML file, run the HTML file, then have AutoIT delete it when the script ends... That way the "mailto:" information can change if need be.

Sorry, to duplicate if that's what you meant Ivan.
