Html text in Task Item

[vito]

I want to insert programmaticaly (vba) an html text in Body, but it doesn't
work.
I can do it in the email body (with htmlbody), but i can not do it in task
item.
Any suggestion

Task item bodies are RTF, not HMTL. Your Outlook version is relevant here.

 

[vito]

ok, i do have the book but the problem exactly is : I use access 2007 and
Outlook 2007, in access the field is a rich text but when i pass the value to
task item i get an html text ( with no formatting text).

Again, there is no HTML content in task items. In order to insert rich text,
you have to work with the Word.Document object returned
byInspector.WordEditor. In other words, you have to use Word object model
methods. You can't just pass a value.

Here's an additional discussion of this issue:

The KB link that Tim provides shows how to copy RTF content to the clipboard
so it can be pasted into the document using Word objectmodel methods.
