[AccessD] Writing HTML to Outlook

Arthur,

I don't know how complex your report is or how much formating you have built
into it, but another option would be to build an html template file and then
build a routine that writes you data into a copy of the file with the
appropriate html tags to get your data formating.  I do this for some
tablular data that gets put on a web site.  My program ftps the file to the
site.  After creating the file with your data you could attach send it as an
attachment to an e-mail.  I haven't tried to automate sending an html
formated e-mail but I't bet it can be done.

Subject: [AccessD] Writing HTML to Outlook


Does anyone know how to convert an Access report to HTML and then embed 
it in an Outlook message? Actually there are two problems.

1. When I save a report to HTML, I lose all its graphics.
2. I don't know how to embed the result in an Outlook message.

Currently my user is saving to a PDF, then loading Adobe and opening the 
PDF, then saving it as HTML, then copying and pasting the result into an 
Outlook message. It works, but it's tedious, espcially given that when 
he needs to do it, he does it several hundred times in succession.

TIA,
Arthur
