hi, i have an outlook (XP) custom form that open automaticly the xml attach
file into its htmlbody. the htmlbody then show the xml content with its xsl
formatting. i need to print this xml/xsl files from the outlook form with
the xsl file formating with a commandbutton.

If the HTML message body is already correctly displaying the content, then the MailItem.Printout method should do what you need.

hi sue, i used already this method and i tried it again today ( just in case
). it prints as outlook does from its menu meaning only headers and an icon
with the attach file name. not the content of the xml file.( and of course
not the htmlbody ).
i think the code needed has to replace "right click upon the htmlbody, print"
any clue, code please
thanks

So you're saying that Outlook itself does not correctly print what you see on the screen when you print manually?

if i use the outlook menu it prints, as .printout, only the original outlook
elements.
the xml attached file is printed as an icon on the page.
when loading, my custom form use a code to open the attached file into a
webbrowser outlook element. the only way i found ( so far ) is to "right
click the form body and click print". i am looking for a code to do this by
clicking a button "PRINT" on the form.
thanks again

Ah, that explains it. It sounds like you're not working with HTMLBody at all, as your original post implied, but with a browser control. It's normal for a control like that not to print. I wonder if you could take the rendered HTML content from the browser control and set the item's HTMLBody to that content? Or are you already using the message body for other information?

XPrint works only with Outlook 2000 and even then not very well.
