Eureka! :D (HTML Mail from Filemaker)

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] .
