Hello:

I am outputting mail message body as html using send object. I am
outputting to email fields from the current form using tables formatting. .
My problem is that table columns are changing its width (depending on the
length of the data). So each email message looks diffrent. I would like the
tables to have always the same width. I am using strictly html code. Anyone
had this problem? Should I be using table width as % or number - I found
that it makes no difrence. Can you help?
 
Sorry, but you'll need to ask this in a newsgroup related to whatever email
client you're using.

This newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product that's
part of Office Professional.
 
Perhaps if you convert each field to text, and
fill with spaces? In a query, you can do it like
this:

f1: left([field1] & space(50)),50)
 
You may need to specify the width of the columns rather than the table (<TD
Width = n>). You may also need to write non-breaking spaces (&nbsp;) if the
data is Null - HTML tends to ignore white space, and collapse columns that
contain nothing but white spaces, though this behaviour can vary between
browsers.
 
Hello all:

Thanks for your response and suggestions - I used percentages for the
columns width (total 100%) and everything seems to output in order. So, it
seems to be working ok.

I am getting my columns and borders ok in Outlook/webmail and newer versions
of Messanger but the older Netscape messangers just ignore borders???
Borders are simply ignored - can this be helped in any way?
