sendobjject - email

[Crazy AL]

Hi
I have partially succeeded in setting up the SENDOBJECT macro cmd to work,
however there are some small bugs or roadblocks I am reaching.

1st of all, if I click new in Outlook, I always get my email template to
popup in HTML mode, which is normal. If I create an email through the
SENDOBJECT it creates the email in text mode. Why is that? Is there an
option in Access to control that? The problem with this is that I am trying
to use a template in the TEMPLATE FILE entry of SENDOBJECT and it specifies
that this ONLY works with an HTML template. This is OBVIOUSLY a conflict of
interests caused by ACCESS itself, or so I am under the impression,
hehehehe... but I digress.

The point is, the email contains my attachment but the message portion of
the email ALWAYS appears BLANK! I say again, IT IS BLANK.

What up wit dat?

How do I fix it?

Thanks,

Craz AL

Crazy,

The contents of the message portion of the email is controlled via the
Message Text argument of your SendObject macro action. Do you mean that
you have entered something in there, in the macro, and it is not showing
in the resultant email?

If you are using an html template file, this would apply to the "object"
which you "send" with the SendObject macro. In most cases, this Object
would be a report. This only means anything, of course, assuming you
have the Output Format setting as HTML. Either way, the html file is
sent as an attachment to the email. None of these macro settings is
relevant to the format of the email message itself.
