How to send a HTML-mail (or Rich Text - mail) from Access - Microsoft Community

i have an access-application that's used managing orders customers.

by clicking button on form order managed, outlook opens and a mail generated :

- the email adress of customer filled-in

- the title of mail mentions order-number

- there standard text in body

- pdf specific offer is attached

it works fine, no matter try, mail in plain text instead of html (or rich text.)

some information :

- use office 2013

- field text stored set "rich text" (table tools --> fields --> memo settings --> rich text)

- in outlook, when make new mail manually, "format text" set "html"

- when mail generated automatically outlook (starting access), format set "plain text".

to make mail, use macro use "emaildatabaseobject".  "object" report contains offer.  output format pdf, , message text refer field standard text stored.

so goal generate outlook-mail acces format rich text or html.  can use better look-and-feel in mail (like nice signature).  today it's simple mail in "plain text"....

thx !

you can't use macro. need use office automation build outlook message , save body using htmlbody property. 

a search on sending outlook html mail access find plenty of code samples.
