Is it possible to create a macro that will open a different stationery than
the default?

Sue, thanks for the reply.

I have looked at Eric's solution but it isn't quite what I am looking for.
I would like a macro that will open a new message with a different stationery
other than the default.

That's exactly what his ApplyStationeryFormatting procedure does -- applies a particular stationery to a message. In his application, the user chooses the stationery from a list, but you could certainly modify his procedure to pass the stationery name as a parameter.

Sue,

OK I finally got it to work but now I do not have a choice of when I want to
use the special stationery I selected. When I select the "New" message
button it brings up the new stationery. I would like the "New" button to
work as it originally did and want to add an additional button for when I
want to use the special stationery.

Is this possible.

What is your stationery setting in Tools | Options | Mail Format?

It would help if you provided complete details of how you adapted Eric's technique to your specific scenario. You should have written a macro to create a new message and then apply stationery to it using his procedure. Is that what you did?

Oops, sorry I still had my station selected in Tools|Options|Mail Format. If
I change this back to none or blank then the macro does not work.

It first indicates "You must initiate a reply to an e-mail before you can
apply stationery formatting" (I want to be able to use it for a new message)
and if I do try it with a replay I do not find my stationery in the list.

Eric's full application works with replies, by design. To make it work with new messages, you would need to adapt it along the lines I indicated earlier.
