Hi webandwe,

Inside a string (which is delimited by double quotes) you can use single quotes to mark the beginning and end of html properties. Also, it is easier to build your html body as a string variable and then assign that to the mail object property.

Here's an example using your code above:

Dim sBody
sBody = "<table width='400' border='1'>"
sBody = sBody & "<tr>"
sBody = sBody & "<td>sample text</td>"
sBody = sBody & "<td>sample text</td>"
sBody = sBody & "</tr>"
sBody = sBody & "</table>"

myMail.HTMLBody =  sBody

Does this make sense? Let me know,

of course you should use this technique to concatinate the table into the mail body ....this is the more managed and precised method any one can tell what the code is doing by just a glimpse of it.

Hi,

Thanks I'll do it that way. In PHP I created the table, paste and swap the ' " around.

The reason I ask was because I have one huge form. 101 fields. (really 101).

Thanks all.
