What's the problem exactly?

puts what text where?

I think what SBobowski is asking is he'd like us to write a macro that when activated, inserts a body of precomposed text into a new message, in Outlook.

i'm sorry i need to be a little more descriptive
like stumpy said i'm looking for a macro when ran that will fill in the body of a message the same as a macro in word that ads you title signature and tagline to the current document in use.

thanks for helping me

What have you got so far?
If you need help writing a macros, check out google first - as there are heaps of tutorials on the net.

i tried google with about 15 different search querys there are alot of tutorials for other things like roughting mail and printing and other things. but i have yet to find any on inserting text into the body of a new letter.

the real thing that bothers me is i have a beyond extensive knowlage of visual basic with almost two degrees. but the synthax is not the same in Vb as it is in vba for office.

if i could find the correct object names i'd have no problem writing the code.
i searched google for about 2 and a half hours readding everything including the macros that are not designed for what i need, trying to figrure this out. i noticed the controll object names are all different in office vba then the ones i've learned in VB.
if i just had the opeining ctrlObj i'd get the rest in a snap

well thats where i stand
i do whant to thank you for the lighning fast replys.
i've read alot of posts on here in the last few days. I don't know if anyones told you but you guys are really good. I know to most people that program when you hit a block and someone helps you through it, theres nothing to replace that felling of there is someone else out there who cares.

just wanted to say thanks

Do you have anything so far?
I found these two links, none of which I can test out because I've not installed VBA into my Outlook. The first two should get you running. Although they're for Word, it's all VBA, and should be the same across Office.

Just create a new email and add the receiver's email address and Subject information.
Do a save as and save it as 'filename.eml'. Make sure u know the location where u saved the file.

Now go to Tools - Customize. Under Commands tab look for File - Mail Message. Drag and drop the button on the tool bar.
Right click on the button and go to 'Assign Hyperlink' and Open.

Click on 'Existing File or WebPage' button. Now click on the ' File' - Brows to the file u created and than hit OK.

U R all set now. One click and u r email is ready. This not through Macro but gets job done.
