August 13, 200124 yr Maybee you've all read my complaints about the fact Filemaker just can't send HTML mail via MS Outlook (Corporate/Workgroup Edition), just plain text. I now created a really cool workaround for this. What I did was create a Visual Basic Project and a script in Filemaker. The Filemaker script exports some fields I need in the mail message to a CSV file, the VB Project reads this export and uses the data to generate some HTML code for the Body of the mail. Next I used the MS Outlook object library to create a 1) Outlook Application Object and 2) Outlook.Application.MailItem Object The MailItem object contains an .HTMLBody property. If set, it creates an HTML mail with the HTML code from .HTMLBody . It's that simple! If someone wants me te clearify this solution, feel free to mail me at [email protected] . (hmm... I guess smiley's don't work in the Subject.. ) [ August 13, 2001: Message edited by: Jorick Schram ]
