Just wondering if anyone knows how to create a button in a Word document/template which can be clicked after an electronic form is completed to save the document as a new file and then email it to a set address.

The 'button' itself can be inserted as an ActiveX control but I'm not familiar enough with the visual basic side of things to program it.

I would have thought this would be a fairly commonly used function in an electronic form but I can't find any decent help online about it.

Thanks a lot,
Tim
