Hi All,
I have had great help from various sites getting code working to send contents of Excel via Outlook. Now I have had a request to make this work via MAC too< I don't have a MAC and know nothing about them. :-(
(Please note I have no experience in code, everything I have picked up from help on this site and generally it is a copy and paste exercise rather than an understanding) I have posted this question on a couple of forumns now but people don't seem to be able to help so far.
To give as much info as possible.
At the moment I have a excel sheet with 5 buttons, you click the button and a macro is run to populate the required fields to be completed for that button. There is then a EMAIL button which is clicked to copy and paste the contents from the Excel spreadsheet into Excel, everything is working great for this for Outlook (all thanks to help from this site and a couple of other websites I have been pointed to)
Now I need to get this working for MAC. I have been pointed to a site but I really can't work things out. What I need to know is.
A. How do I change the code below to work for MAC.
B. How will I identify if a MAC or Outlook user? Would I need two buttons ;CLICK HERE TO EMAIL ON MACS' AND 'CLICK HERE TO EMAIL ON OUTLOOK' or is there something more clever than this.
Any help really appreciated.
