Use CDONTS (or possibly CDO, as CDONTS is being phased out).

If you use Outlook you can try something like this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim objOutlook As Object
Dim objOutlookMsg As Object
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(0)

With objOutlookMsg
.To = "someone@somewhere.com"
.Cc = "someoneelse@somewhere.com"
.Subject = "Hello......"
.Body = "This is the body of message"
.HTMLBody = "<H1>HTML version of message</H1>"
' .Attachments.Add ("c:\myFileToSend.txt")
.Send
End With

Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
