Create a button to email field contents from excel sheet.

I have a series of worksheets (one for each project I am working on) in an Excel 2010 workbook which contain project status/issues information. I would like to email the contents of a few fields to a static recipient list every Friday as an update. Could a button be programmed to copy the contents of certain fields and paste it into an Outlook email?

I did not have it saved local the first time. Runs without error. Can the email addresses and names be pulled from the list to accomodate expanding the email list or changing recipients?

Thanks

What do you mean be pulled from the list ???
whatever you put in the Contact sheet wether 1 email or 1000000 it will pull them and create email for each and everyone in your draft.

With this version you will need to manually chk each mail and press send on it so it sends it. If you like it we can send it directly. You can change also the email body content. Did oyu see the emails created in the draft ?

My mistake, it is generating drafts correctly. Is it possible to add a field value from the action items sheet (A1) as a prefix to the subject line?
