How to add Voting Buttons onto Microsoft Outlook 2007 E-mail message from an Excel Macro?

Hi Guys, I currently have an Excel Macro that opens Excel tabs into Outlook and sends them as an attachment. I would like the reciever of this e-mail to use Voting Buttons in Outlook to approve or reject the e-mail. Outlook 2007 has a feature in the "Options" menu which shows Voting Buttons. How to I add this into the below VB code so it does it automatically?

Sub Mail_Sheets_Array()

    Dim FileFormatNum As Long
    Dim Sourcewb As Workbook

Try:

The actions are defined in the line:

        arrActions = Split("First Action,Another Action,Yet another action", ",")

Modify "First Action,Another Action,Yet another action" as required seperating each string with a comma only.

Hi Tasmant, that works great! What if I want to add a hyperlink into the e-mail header?
