Send e-mail and request reply with cmdButton in body of text

[keysol]

Hi,

I would like to send an invitation to a group of people to assist a meeting. I would like the recipients to indicate their acceptance or refusal by clicking a button in the body of the e-mail message that would trigger a reply e-mail with the appropriate response. Some of these message recipients have Outlook but many have Hotmail, AOL or some other internet e-mail service.
Can this be done and if so how would I code the cmdButtons?
Or, is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks,

Gerr

Unfortunately, I do not think, this will work...
Andy answering via buttons in the menu bar of the mail requires Exchange Server, if I'm not mistaken.

Perhaps you should write the invitation as Word-Doc and implement the Code there. Wouldn't that help?
In VBA you can then open a new MAPI Session. Won't work with hotmail, though. For some reason, hotmail is still incompatible with Outlook...

Regards,
Andy

If you have a website: what about a hyperlink to a little page that generates the email or creates a response log? The link could contain their email address as a value so you know who is replying.

You'd need some webpage building ability, but links work in every email application I've seen. . .
