How to paste from clipboard into Outlook message body

[AudreyCole]

Hi. I have an Access app that creates Outlook messages. I want to allow the user to either use the textbox in the Access form, which it does now, or use the contents of the clipboard for the outlook message (because I need rtf formatted text, which Access textboxes don't handle). Now code says: olmessage.body = forms!myform.txtbody. I want another option to make the olmessage.body equal the clipboard contents. Any ideas?

Thanks much,

Audrey Cole
