i have created a form in microsoft word 2003 and i want to put a button on the form to automatically email the form back to me. does anyone know how i can do this?

On word 2002 the hyperlink option is on the Items menu. This has an option to link to an email address. Imagine 2003 is the same or improved!

Shortcut is Ctrl +k

Won't that simply insert a hyperlink to an email address?

If you want the button to save the document (?amended document?) and automatically send the entire document to that email address I think it may entail a little more than just a hyper link.  Wish I knew how though as I would like to be able to do this too.

You're absolutely right Jules. In future I shall actually read the question.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I posted the same question in a news group on the Microsoft website and someone gave me some Visual Basic code to put behind a control button. This used the routing slip facility in Word 2003. This did work after a fashion but if the person filling in the form made a mistake and tried to send it a second time, it couldn't be done. Anyway, I am still working on this and will keep you posted.
