    Open email template files based upon combo box values

    I'm looking for assistance on how I can launch MS Outlook OFT files when selecting a value within my combo box?? In this particular example I'm looking to setup a drop down list (combo box) with only a few options, each of which would launch a different OFT file so the end user could easily email from their MS Excel workbook. Is this possible?

    [VBA]Sub MakeItem()

    Set newItem = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("c:\your path\open test.oft")
    newItem.Display
    Set newItem = Nothing

    End Sub
    [/VBA]
