I've been round Robin Hood's barn on this one, and it seems to me there's
got to be an easier way than what I ended up doing, which was using a Word
template form with the logo imbedded in it, filling out the form fields from
Access, sticking the email address into the clipboard, and then opening the
Word doc and manually using Send (with the address pasted from the
clipboard).

I've found no way to get an Access report which contains a graphic (like a
logo) to email. (Admittedly I've avoided the whole Outlook thing, since I
hate it.) Is there an easier way?

PS. The Word approach has its own problems: sometimes a document gets stuck
open, and can't be replaced or deleted until after a reboot, but that's a
story for another time. I do love this so-called "Office" thing, with
everything working together! Not!
 
I just discovered that MS has apparently built the snp viewer into at least
W2k, and that sending an snp file retains all the formatting of the report.
I'm not sure who I'm more pissed at: MS, for not making that information
more readily apparent/available, or me for not finding it out (but how would
I have?).

And now I've found that if you build an mde file and restrict the menu
options, as one would normally do, one of the options that's supressed from
the Print Preview menu is.... Send to!

Some day I'm going to lean down from my 7th circle of hell and listen to the
MS developers, who inhabit the 11th circle all by themselves, explain why,
if given a choice between two design options as the default, they almost
invariably chose the wrong one.
