Ladies, Gentlemen and anyone else who can help!

I need to read emails from Outlook into my database - DONE.
I need to reply and send emails from my database - DONE.

However, if an email is received in Outlook with colours and formatting etc.
I cannot get hold of it in order to send on in the same format.

Someone kindly suggested the HTMLBody object which provides HTML formatting
but how can I use that to send an email with the formatting?

Has anybody sent an email, from an Access database, through Outlook WITH
formatting?

All suggestions very greatly received

How are you sending your Emails? If you are automating Outlook then you have
code where you are creating a message object and then calling its Send method.
That object has both a Body and an HTMLBody. To send an HTML message you simply
use the latter instead of the former.

If you are using the built in SendObject function then you cannot do what you
want.
