Email contents in form

[Neil Greenough]

Don't know if this is possible.

I am currently using email to bid for potential work. What i'd like if
possible, is for certain parts of my email to automatically go into
designates fields in a table / form. So for example, in my email I write
'cost' 'date' etc.... and then when i click send, this also sends the
information to my database.

Is this possible?

To create a formatted document to send as an email you will need to
use VBA code to create a largish string. This string will then be
passed to the SendObject command as the body of the email. For more
details including sample air code see my Tips page on this topic at
