Hi!!
Using the send object for emailing, the message text length is limited to
256. Is there a way to increase this as i have text beyond the said limit
including the embedded field values. I'm suing Access 2003.
Thanks in Advance.
 
SGangs,

Sorry, but No. That's the limit. If you need a longer message body, you
will need to do the emailing via a different approach. If so, this is a
useful place to start:

An idea you might try:

In a table create a memo field and type your message text in it, then in the
send object, reference the memo field in your table.
 
Amy,

Thanks. Have you actually tried this yourself, and found it successful?

The approach I've found to be successful is using sendObject to send a
report, but the report is nothing but your canned email text. Then just put
a short note in the message body or subject line saying "see attachment."
This way you can not only extend the length of the communication, but also
control the color of the text, etc.
