reading in text file.

[Alex H]

I have a routine which when a user clicks a button on an Access form,
creates an email form with some data already filled in from the record on
display. The user has the option of reading in the body text from an
external file. At present I am using a text file, but the problem is that
as I read it in, I am losing all formatting, carriage returns, punctuation
etc.

Is there a way of either keeping the basic formatting,or better still
reading in the file in a different format?

Thanks

Alex
