<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Stuart<BR>Thanks for the reply.<BR>I'm about to visit a
potential new client who is looking to replace an off-the-shelf contact
management system withan Access app. Good news for me I hope. Anyway one of
the requirements is to be able to prepare HTML emails (text and pics and
anything else I guess) with, in effect, field placemarks (e.g. [CustomerName]
or whatever). It then has to do an "emailmerge" between the HTML and the data
and send to all on his list. Does that make sense? What do you
think?<BR><BR>I've kept this on-list for now as it better explains (I hope)
what I'm trying to do and there may be others out there who can help or want
to see where the discussion leads.<BR><BR>--<BR>Andy
