Add Text to Email from Macro - Microsoft Access / VBA

Winks

I would like to create a button that opens Outlook and puts some text
in the body of the email. I don't need any attachments, just some
text in the body. I've accomplished the ability to create an email
using a macro, but the text I want to add to the body generates an
error that the text is too long. In addition, I would like the text
formatted so it can bold, make larger, italicize, link, etc.

Can I pull in a pre-formatted html file as the text? If so, how?

Is there any way to do this through a macro? If it has to be done
using code, can you provide an example using "Email Code for Dummies"?

Thx!

Here is one way to do it.....

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Set o = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set m = o.CreateItem(0)
m.To = Forms![HiddenKey]![HManagerEmail]
' m.cc = for copies

' m.bcc = for blind copies

m.Subject = "Defect Analysis for " & Forms![fieldname]

' m.body = "now is the time" if html not
desired

==================================
m.bodyformat = 2 ' not necessary if no html

m.htmlbody = Chr(13) & Chr(13) & _
"<body><Table><tr><td><bDate: </b></td><td>" & Date
&
"</td></tr>" & _
"<tr><td><b>Manager: </b></td><td>" &
Forms![HiddenKey]![HManager] & "</td></tr>" & _
"<tr><td><b>Name: </b></td><td>" &
Forms![HiddenKey]![HCompany] & "</td></tr>" & _

"<tr><td></td><td></td></tr>" & _
"</Table></body>"
===================================

' m.send ' to send it instead of displaying it.
m.Display

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The key is to load the HTMLBody and set the bodyformat.
Then you need to include any of the HTML formating code values that
you want to use.
