Emailing HTML files

G

geocoy

I created a report in MS Access that I output as an HTML file. When I send
it in an email as an attachment it is instantly displayed when you open the
email.

How can I create this same type of file in other applications like Front
Page. JC Penny sends me advertisements in emails that have many components,
yet they are accurately displayed in the email when you open the email. You
don't have to go to a website to make it display.

What application can I use to crweate this same type of display

Please advise

Thanks
George

It sounds like you want to create an HTML email (not attached)? if so,
Outlook Express has a code view where you can edit HTML and has a WYSIWYG
mode as well. using the HTML source code view makes it pretty simple to
create the HTML emails

Also, the images will actually have to be uploaded to a server, and the
links to them in the html email must be absolute.

Not the OP, but this interested me.

Where do I find the HTML source code view?

I checked OE help and it says
To edit the HTML source tags, on the View menu, make sure a check mark
appears next to Source Edit. Then, select the Source tab and start editing.

I did this, but I can't see the Source tab. In fact, I can't see any tabs at
all. There are lots of buttons, but tabs ??

I thought from your description that I would see something like the FP
Code/HTML view (or any text editor for that matter)

Would you believe the toolbar was hiding it. Or maybe I didn't expect the
tabs at the bottom and so didn't move the mouse
