Hi all,
I've done reading around but could not work out how to do this sadly.
I want tocreate a button which generates an email. The body text needs to be populatedby the cell data.
I have gone forthis code initially:
But haverecently found this code which looks more comprehensive and fool proof for theother people who will use the form:

However, I am way out of my comfort zone and would love someone to explain where and how I add the individual cell values to appear in the body text.
Also, how do Iensure that range changes depending on which row the button is on, rather thanbeing specific to a certain pre-defined cell value. There will be a button onevery row and it will need to parse the data of D, E and F of that row.
