Sending Report Info in Body Text of formatted Email

I was wondering if anyone has any idea of how I might send out nicely
formatted reports, where the report content is in the body of the email? I
have seen a number of threads posted about sending attachments, and that will
likely be my "fallback" approach.

Trying to avoid attachments, however, as this required folks, who are
already in email jail, to take an extra step, which results in them not
seeing the report (my reports are communicating significant issues in ongoing
projects, and important that they at least "See" the red flags in the report.

This leads me to the formatting issue...I would like the reports to look
similar to a report i might generate via a normal access report, but with the
ability to set background text on some words like "RED" to be red, etc (let's
folks scan the report quickly for line-items "at risk."

Has anyone see a nice set of code that lets you produce formatted reports
(maybe of HTML type format)?

Thanks!

Hi,
unfortunately - there is no simple way to do so, you have to create new
outlook message in code, and build html body based on your report.
You can try to use some rtf2html convertor to convert report, exported to
RTF, to HTML, but still requires some coding
