I'm sending out E-mail via a SendObject command in Access 2000. I have text
in my message portion of the SendObject command. I define the format as RTF.
I'm trying to make some of the fields Bold. I added the "FontBold = true" to
the field, but nothing works.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tom Knox

Send a report object, then the formatting should be ok.

I wouldn't spend to much time on SendObject.

Have your tried just adding some RTF to your text? Bold is \b

I have been using a third party addin to email from/to access directly form
a mail server. This is currently working very well for my client. You can
add html content as an email body/section

I could well be wrong, but I don't think there's any way using SendObject to
set the format of the message itself to RTF -- the output format option
refers to the format of the attachment being sent.  I believe if you want to
do this you have to be using a mail client that supports automation, like
Outlook (as opposed to Outlook Express), and use automation to control the
mail client directly, instead of SendObject.  I'm sure if you scan Google
Groups you'll find plenty of examples of doing this, and maybe MS has a
KnowledgeBase article as well.
