How to make a Form Application to Send Email via Outlook

I tried to search across on StackOverflow and Google, but had no success. Am creating a form application to accept some information for the body of an email, create a HTML email and send via Outlook. Everywhere I looked and found sending via GMail. But I want to be able to send via outlook without user interruption.

Could someone help me with a code to call outlook, frame the message and send automatically. Also should be able to enter some extra recipients via their username on the domain and it should automatically resolve and pickup the email and send to them when sending via outlook.

The message contents may have fields like Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Address. This should all sit inside a HTML email in a table.

Whilst i am puzzled you cant find what you are looking for i am going to provide an answer as the title is very clear so it could simplify searching for others in the future.

Dim Outlook As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application
Dim MailItem As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem
MailItem = Outlook.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem)
With MailItem
    .HTMLBody = "put the body of your email here as a string"
    .Subject = "Subject Line Info"
    'use the below to change from the default email account
    .SentOnBehalfOfName = "[email protected]"
    'you can add multiple recipients using .Add()
    .Recipients.Add("[email protected]")
    'examples of other optional arguments that can be included
    .Attachments.Add([file])
    .Importance = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlImportance.olImportanceHigh
    .Display() 'opens the email for checking prior to sending or use .Send()
End With

As per the comment from Rahul below you will also need to add a Reference to the Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library.
