    Sending Mail in Lotus Notes (Formatting Problem)

    Hi,
    maybe someone else has the knowledge. I have a working function
    sending an email through LN from Access, but am having a formating
    problem. Need to add a "sendto:x...@xy z.com?subject= Question
    pertaining to..."
    line in the mail. It works but comes out like above.
    The code looks like

    link2 = ("mailto:RL_Fin ance.MDA?subjec t= Question pertaining to " &
    mail_title)
    link2 and mail_title are set as string


    also I provide a link "Link1 = ("file://" & file_link)" which also
    appears the same way in the mail.


    It all works, but does not look as professional as I would like.


    Some simple formatting issue.


    Please, if someone has done something similar with Notes, let me know
    how to correct it.


    Thanks


    Steven

      Hi Steven,

      I am not really sure what you are trying to do here. Are you trying to
      send an email to a person with a file attached? Or are you wanting to
      put 'HotSpots' in the body text that a user can click on and have
      hyperlinks as the function behind the hotspot?

      Cheers

          Thanks,

          "put 'HotSpots' in the body text that a user can click"

          and have a new mail generated with a address and subject already
          filled in,
          the other "link1" is a link to a file to be opened when clicked.

          Basically want to include this:
          mailto:RL_Finan ce.MDA?subject= Question pertaining to "
          but have it APPEAR in the mail as "RL_Finance "

          was able to do it with outlook, but notes through VBA is new to me,
          and there is not a lot of info that I have found.

          Still appreciate any help you can provide.

              Hi Steven,

              Okay, this is probably not the place for a tutorial on programming
              Lotus Notes through COM / VBA, however the resource you need to handle
              this can be found here: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245670.html

              The IBM Redbook is able to be freely downloaded from their website and
              I would highly recommend it for what you are wanting to do.

              Aside from that, do you have any Access specific related issues or
              queries?
