I am using Outlook Automation to create either a fax or
an email and send it. I have two issues: 1. I need to be
able to switch back and forth between Rich Text Format
for faxes and HTML for emails on the fly. This setting
is under Outlook, Tools, Options, Email Format. How can
I change this programatically? And, 2. An Access report
is attached to email or fax. If I insert a .jpg picture
file when designing the report the .jpg does not show
up. Why and how do I correct this?
 
Re the first bit, try researching the article at
support.microsoft.com, this may provide some answers...

Re the picture, when Access exports a Report, it does this
in "Rich Text Format" (RTF). This means that although the
text in the resulting file will appear as it does in the
Report (Bold, Color Size etc) any Graphical Objects, such
as lines, boxes or pictures are not included in this
Format.

There are two ways around this: -

1. Create a Word Document Template that is populated with
data by Access, use the Word Document for your pictures
etc. For further info visit

2. Create a "Report Snapshot" from within MS Access, this
can be done using the "OutputTo" command.
