automate Outlook..insert signiture

[Guest]

Hi

Please help me i am new to this and i would like to automate using outlook.
(i have never automated with outlook. i know that its kind of different than
the other MS apps). there is one catch. if I were to automate and use just
the regular functions i would not be posting here. i am trying to insert a
signiture into an email that i am generating with the Docmd.sendobject. i am
not sure how I should refer to the instance that is already there. in this
case i am not looking to start a new instance. please help, i am walking in
the dark.

btw, i assumed (and i told my users) that i can't attach anything to the
email generated with the docmd.sendobject. i am now thinking that since my
main objective is to attach a file maybe i should not use docmd.sendobject
altogether. instead i should automated the whole thing.

thanks,

Sam

You have posted this message to the wrong newsgroup.
The access in this groups name refers to Microsoft Access, a database
program.
I would suggest that you repost to the correct newsgroup and include the
Windows and Office version numbers.

Yes, you need to automate the whole thing. Here are some useful links:

Finally, the best places I know for information about Outlook are
http:www.outlookcode.com and http://www.slipstick.com

I've checked out those links for a similar problem. I'm generating an email
from access. The problem is that I want to insert a signature block that has
a graphic. I'd like to do it via Access but don't know how to insert the
image. I finally just tried to set up the signature block in access. It
however works only on emails generated from outlook. I can insert into an
email generated from access but the graphic part won't insert. Help

It should be possible using the Outlook object model if not with
CDO/CDONTS. I've never tried, but if I needed to I'd start looking at
