Sending Mail in Lotus Notes (Formatting Problem)

Hi,
maybe someone else has the knowledge. I have a working function
sending an email through LN from Access, but am having a formating
problem. Need to add a "sendto:x...@xyz.com?subject= Question
pertaining to..."
line in the mail. It works but comes out like above.
The code looks like

link2 = ("mailto:RL_Finance.MDA?subject= Question pertaining to " &
mail_title)
link2 and mail_title are set as string


also I provide a link "Link1 = ("file://" & file_link)" which also
appears the same way in the mail.


It all works, but does not look as professional as I would like.


Some simple formatting issue.


Please, if someone has done something similar with Notes, let me know
how to correct it.


Thanks


Steven

Hi Steven,

I am not really sure what you are trying to do here. Are you trying to
send an email to a person with a file attached? Or are you wanting to
put 'HotSpots' in the body text that a user can click on and have
hyperlinks as the function behind the hotspot?

Cheers

Thanks,

"put 'HotSpots' in the body text that a user can click"

and have a new mail generated with a address and subject already
filled in,
the other "link1" is a link to a file to be opened when clicked.

Basically want to include this:
mailto:RL_Finance.MDA?subject= Question pertaining to "
but have it APPEAR in the mail as "RL_Finance"

was able to do it with outlook, but notes through VBA is new to me,
and there is not a lot of info that I have found.

Still appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi Steven,

Okay, this is probably not the place for a tutorial on programming
Lotus Notes through COM / VBA, however the resource you need to handle
this can be found here: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245670.html

The IBM Redbook is able to be freely downloaded from their website and
I would highly recommend it for what you are wanting to do.

Aside from that, do you have any Access specific related issues or
queries?
