Outlook 2000 Signature via Automation

[Alphonse Giambrone]

Using automation to send emails from Access 2K through Outlook 2K.
All works well except the signature that would normally be added to the
email (if creating manually) is not included in the message.
Is there a way to include the default signature when using automation?
If so, sample or explanation please?

If not, can it be done in later versions of Outlook?

TIA

See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=162 for a code sample that
should help.

Please do not crosspost. There is a newsgroup specifically for general
Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at
microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

Thanks for the reply and link. It was very helpful.
In case anyone else is interested:
I am not using a custom form, but from that thread, I was able to determine
that the key is to display the message before setting the body content.
Outlook then inserts the signature and I can concatenate it to whatever else
I want to include in the body.
Also, the default mail format must be HTML. If plain text, Outlook changes
to rich text format (which AFAIK only Outlook can display) as soon as I
concatenate to the body.

Sorry about the cross/multi-posting. I had posted to
microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba originally and then
microsoft.public.outlook.general. There were no responses, so I cross-posted
(which I thought was ok) to these other groups as client is pressing for an
answer.
