This week's Visual Basic newsletter describes how to generate an auto-OK dialog box. You might use this dialog box if you want to give the user the option of changing program defaults, or letting the program run on its own using the defaults.

Do you like the concept of auto-OK buttons? What topics would you like to see the author cover in future editions of this newsletter? Let us know.

You can use sockets to generate the EMail (use Winsock controls or API's) or maybe the better way out would be to use Collaborative Data Objects (CDO). Second option may require you to setup a SMTP Server which comes by default with IIS.

Sub cmdSend()
Dim sURL, sEmail, sName, sCompany
sName = Document.oForm.text1.value
sCompany = Document.oForm.text2.value
sEmail = Document.oForm.text3.value
sURL = "mailto:" & sEmail & "?body=" & sName & " " & sCompany
window.location = sURL

End Sub

That's a great idea. I used it to give the user a chance to change a database from the default.
