hyperlink & body of e-mail?

[Jerome]

I've created a hyperlink button in Access that results in an e-mail. So
far, so good. But I was wondering if the was a way to better define the
body of the e-mail? Right now I'm using '&body=' but the text size there
is limited and it can't be easily formatted.

Is there a way to do this or to refer to a text file that gets used as
the body (ideally with parameters)?

Thanks a lot!

Rather than using the hyperlink, you could:

1) Use the docmd.SendObject method

2) Use Outlook automation to create an outlook object in your code, then
create a MailItem, then set the To:, Subject, Body (cannot remember the
actual property of the Outlook model for the body), attachments, etc. Use
the Display method to actually display the mailitem you create using this
technique.
