Hi,
I'm having trouble with a specific e-mail text format attachment ...
The requirement is for the attachment to be .txt type and in this
format:
Label=FieldValue
Label=FieldValue
Label=FieldValue
Label=FieldValue
Label=FieldValue
etc., etc.,
The only way I could figure to accomplish this was to 1st do a report
in this format, but the problem I'm having is that as soon as I put the
controls too close together, the spacing between each row is not the
same - I need the each row to be directly under the other, with no line
spacing unless a space has been left on the report. The line-spacing
when viewing the report is fine, but as soon as it is e-mailed as an
attachment, the .txt attachment's line spacing is irregular - I would
really appreciate a solution to this problem. Many thanks

How are you emailing this? Are you using SendObject? If so, as you've seen,
the formatting of SendObject leaves a lot to be desired. You can try the
other format types (html, rtf), but you'll likely find that they don't
render well either.
One option is to forego the attachment and include your info in the Body of
the email. You can build it like this;
Dim rst As DAO.REcordset
Dim strBody As STring
Set rst = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset("SQL statement to open the correct
record")
If Not (rst.EOF and rst.BOF) Then
strBody = "Name: : " & rst("NameField") & vbCrLf & "Address: " &
rst("AddressField") & vbcrlf & "City/State/Zip:" & rst("City") & " " &
rst("State") & ", " & rst("Zip")
End IF
DoCmd.SendObject , , , "us**@user.com", , , "Subject Here", strBody, True
set rst = Nothing
Or you can build a plaintext file and use other methods to attach it ... or
print your report to PDF and send that (can't do it with SendObject, but
there are other methods available).

Brigitte,
I'd probably code this using VBA's built in string manipulation and file
capabilities. Something like:
Public Function GenEMail() As Long
'Dimension variables.
'Pull list of records to be output from database
'If there are records to be output, for each record
'Label = SomeString
'FieldValue = SomeValue
'File Row (X) = Label & "=" & FieldValue
'Close & save changes to file
'DoCmd.SendObject MyFile
End Function
The exact syntax & wording of the function will be different. But the idea
is there.

What method are you using to send the email? Outlook? As others have indicated
SendObject doesn't work.
It may not be possible to format the emails as you desire. The displaying of
attachments is likely entirely at the mercy of the email client software.

I put the info into a report and that e-mailed as an attachment
with SendObject.

Hi Scott,
Many thanks for your response ...
I am using SendObject to generate e-mail.
With reference to your last paragraph - "build a plaintext file" how do
you mean exactly & "use other methods to attach it" what would these
be?
Thank you

Hi Tony,
Many thanks for your response ...
The end-users are using different e-mail applications so the format
will have to be application non-specific. Is there any way to force the
format of an attachment regardless of the e-mail application used to
send?
Thank you
