Hi All,

How do i send an email from a vb.net form? I have a text box with the
email address, another with the email body, and I want to use standard
text for the subject. Is there a way for me to automatically open a
"new mail form" from outlook, and automatically put these values in?

Thanks in advance..

Public Sub NewMail(ByVal strTo As String, Optional ByVal strSubject As
String = "", Optional ByVal strMessage As String = "", Optional ByVal
colAttachments As Collection = Nothing)
        Try
            Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
            oApp = New Outlook.Application
            MailObject = oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)

            With MailObject
                'ATTACHMENTS!!!!
                Dim intX As Integer
                If colAttachments IsNot Nothing Then
                    For intX = 1 To colAttachments.Count
                        .Attachments.Add(colAttachments(intX),
Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue)
                    Next
                End If

                .Subject = strSubject
                .To = strTo

                .Body =strMessage

                'Send it directly!
                '.Send()
                'Open it!
                .Display()

            End With
            oApp = Nothing
        Catch ex As Exception
            Throw ex
        Finally
        End Try
    End Sub


A reference must be added to Outlook...
