Question : How can I trigger a macro when the "send to mail" function is used?

Hi Experts,

Is there a way I can trigger a macro if the user uses the "Send To Mail as attachment" function in Excel? I have a macro that runs a check and I would like this to be executed before the user sends the file as an attachment. (If possible with a cancel boolean I can use to abort if necessary).

Thanks in advance

Joe.

(I am using excel 2003, but 2007 would be okay if 2003 cannot support.)

Option Explicit
Private WithEvents btn As CommandBarButton

Private Sub btn_Click(ByVal Ctrl As Office.CommandBarButton, CancelDefault As Boolean)
    ' test your condition to cancel the send
    If MsgBox("Do you wish to send?", vbYesNo) = vbNo Then
        CancelDefault = True
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Set btn = Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=2188)
End Sub
