Re: Underlining & emboldening e-mail text

Yup .CC will work as well as .BCC should you need that one too.

You can use almost any HTML tag you need to support rich text. In fact if
you treat the body of the Email message as you would the body a web page you
are on the right track.

<font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' size='+3' color='#FF0000'>I am Big
and Red</font>
<font face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif' size='-1' color='#000000'>I am
Small and Black</font>

Ron,

I am currently implemeting your recommended CDO method. One of its
obvious
advantages over SendObject, and one that was not immediately apparent, is
the
ability to send multiple attachments. In my original question, I was
concerned with the apparent inability to include emboldening and
underlining
in the body of the e-mail, with SendObject but it transpires that the need
to
send separate e-mails for each attached file is a more serious impediment.
In contrast, the CDO example, to which you provided a link, seems to be
readily adaptable to send any number of attachments. It all looks fairly
straightforward but I am left with a couple of simple questions to which I
would be grateful for answers.
1. Can I assume that ".CC" can be used to send a copy of the main email?
2. It would be very useful to be able to change font size as well as use
emboldening and underlining in the body of the e-mail. Can I assume that
<U>
. </U> will achieve the latter? As to change of font size, can you
enlighten
me?

Having now looked at CDO, I have to concede that it looks much more
versatile than SendObject. You will have to forgive me if I was a bit
slow
to realise this. 'Thinking outside the box' does not always come
naturally,
but I am certainly grateful for the information. Barring any major snags,
it
looks as if CDO will meet the requirement very nicely.

OK! Save the Access SnapShot to disk, and then use CDO to create a rich
text email message and attach the file. You could also create a PDF from
your report (using any number of methods) and attach that . Am I missing
something here?

Interesting leads there. Unfortunately, however, the client finds
Outlook
particularly inconvenient, largely for the reasons suggested. Access
snapshot also has security features which make it attractive. It is
important that the recipients not be able to edit the e-mails they
receive.

On balance, it looks as if circumventing the problem, rather than
solving
it, might be the better approach in this case but I am grateful for the
suggestions. They could yet prove useful.

Of course it is possible. Just not using SendObject. Depending on
the
environment, and the customers requirements I have used two methods to
do
this.

Method 1: Automate Outlook. If the client is using Outlook as an
Email
client this is an easy way to go. Have a look here for a place to get
started.

Outlook supports rich text and Automating it is well understood, and
ther
are lots of examples.

Method 2: Use CDO (Collaboration Data Objects) to send rich text email
with
attachments. Here is a link to get you started.
http://www.worksrite.com/CDOMail.htm This is also very easy to get
going,
and it will send mail straight away without anoying the user with the
Outlook security warning promps.

I have no doubt that there are other methods, but you might want to
check
out these two for starters.

I am using the SendObject method to e-mail a series of reports, as
follows:-

DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, stRptName, acFormatSNP, stRecipient,
stCC,
,
stSubject, stMessageText

where the variable string elements are passed as parameters. This
should
present no difficulties but the job spec. requires the Message Text
to
be
emboldened and underlined, and I cannot presently see how to do
this.
