HOW TO INSERT A SUBMIT FORM BUTTON IN WORD THAT SENDS COMPLETED FORMS AS AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT // So you have created a fillable form and now you want to make it easy for your users to send their completed forms back to you. You can accomplish this by including a “Submit” button which is essentially a command button you can insert at the bottom of your form so when the user clicks it, it will automatically open their MS Outlook email client and have an email with your return email address, subject and body text with the completed form attached, so that all they have to do is click “Send.”

Here is the VBA code used in this video to create the macro for the Submit command button (be sure to replace the Subject, Body Text and Email address with your own information):

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim xOutlookObj As Object
Dim xEmail As Object
Dim xDoc As Document
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set xOutlookObj = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set xEmail = xOutlookObj.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set xDoc = ActiveDocument
xDoc.Save
With xEmail
.Subject = "Include your own Subject"
.Body = "Include your own verbiage for email body text."
.To = "[email protected]"
.Importance = olImportanceNormal
.Attachments.Add xDoc.FullName
.Display
End With
Set xDoc = Nothing
Set xEmail = Nothing
Set xOutlookObj = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
