resolving combo box data to HTML e-mail

[rollneck]

hi,

I am creating a template in word to replace an existing paper based form
with a e-mailed word document. To do this i am using VBA in word to send the
document once finished and i am using several combo box's to select data on
the document. The problem i am having is that when the template is sent (as
HTML) the data selected in the combo box's is not sent. I would like to have
it set so that only the text selected in the combo box is sent - without any
of the actual comboi box.

(i am aware that the combo box can be sent by activating active x in
outlook, however i was hoping that there might be another way)

where can i find the answer???

thanks.

Use Dropdown form fields instead of ActiveX controls. "Unlink" all the fields
to plain text before sending (doc.Range.Fields.Unlink)
