How do I create a Word form that can be emailed when a button is clicked?

[jayjay]

Hey I'm new to making forms on word, and would like help creating a form that can be filled out and sent to an email when a button is clicked.

Basically I would like a user to fill out a form and click a button. Once the button is clicked the word document will automatically attach to the email, the 'To' field will automatically have my email in it (myaddress@mail.com). The user can than change the subject and message field if they wish.

How would I go about doing this?



Thanks

Adding a button to run a macro is easy enough, but the biggest obstacle that you have to overcome is that in order for this to work, the user must allow the macros necessary to achieve it to run, and you cannot force that.

If the form is not created on a web site to be filled on line, I would be inclined to send out the form as an e-mailed attachment and include an instruction to return the form to you as an attachment. You can include a hyperlink - and it might be better not to encourage the user to change the subject as it makes it much easier to identify the returned messages for processing, if they all have the same subject, to which end you should find http://www.gmayor.com/ExtractDataFromForms.htm useful.
