I've been advised to post the complete problem to a sub problem I was having concerning OLE objects.
My overall goal is to have a database with an internal email function which must support rich text (bold etc) and save the email in a table.
I thought i'd have a go at storing a file as an OLE object so I can somehow export an email message at time of sending, but i'm having trouble capturing it from Outlook as well so.......
I think i'm going to start off simple with a basic form, a send function, and storing the message in a memo field and work up from there.
The system must support Lotus Notes as well as the MS products, just to make it a bit more difficult!
Any ideas on tutorials of how to do any of this, or addons that can be bought would be much appreciated. 4 days of trawling books and the internet has deflated my enthusiasm a bit!
