Insert text at cursor position

[Guest]

Hi all

I'm currenlt using Outlook 2000

I have a requirement where I have a combobox on a custom form, and when a value is selected, it should be inserted into the message body (HTMLBody).

I can get it to append to the end of the message body text easily enough using vbscript code within a form, but the catch is I need the insertion point to be where the keyboard cursor is currently located in the message textfield, rather than the end

Can someone please tell me if this is even possible? If so any hints? My searches thus far have come to nil
Also, would Outlook 2003 make a difference?

Thanks in advance

This would be also nice for me to know. And there has to be a way that
this could be possible because outlook itselfs knows the position very
well.

But since I couldn't find anything about it, I doubt its possible.
Maybe with another email editor than outlook itself.

If WordMail is being used you can get the cursor point using Word
code. Otherwise you can't even in Outlook 2003.
