Writing text to the "Message" Field (Outlook 2000)

[Kevin Mac]

I have a form that has many fields in the Compose page. This is to
control the users input and ensure that email contain a valid
combination of information.

On my read page, I'd like to just have the Message field display the
data inputted from the Compose page so as to look like a 'normal'
email. To accomplish this, my strategy is to write the data from the
the various Compose page fields to the the Message field. Note that I
have the Message field on both Compose & Read page and that data
manually entered into the field appears on the read view.

However, I can't seem to access the "value" property of the "Message"
field like have for other fields in order to place my data.

Is it possible to write text to the message field? I noticed that it
has a very small list of properties so I thinking that it isn't
available.

Thank you for your time.

I found the answer about 2 minutes after I posted this query.

For those who don't know the answer, you can use the Item.HTMLBody or
Item.Body properties to write the "Message" field.
