The above references are all related to the user having Outlook as their primary email package.


If you are speaking in terms of a User having YAHOO, GMAIL, etc. .... the approach I would use is to have them
save the file to the desktop, and create your own "installation wrapper" that will auto open/run the workbook.
You can use VBA to accomplish the task ... or ... there are commercial and a few freebie packages on the internet
that are available.

If you want to create your own "installation wrapper" consider using VBScript. Lots of examples on the internet.

I believe Microsoft also has a freebie MSI installer package available.
