Formatting emails from Access

[matey56]

Hello,
I have coded a button on my form to send an email to people I designate. The body of the email will come from a field entitled "Comments". How can I keep the formatting from the Comments field (hard returns, bullets, etc.) when I compose the email. Currently it puts the text in the email fine, but it's just one large paragraph with no formatting.

Here is the code I'm using right now:

Private Sub cmd_email_CRM_Click()


Dim Msg As String


Msg = "Dear " & CRM & ",<P>" & _
Please review the notes below." & "<P>" & Comments


Dim O As Outlook.Application
Dim M As Outlook.MailItem


Set O = New Outlook.Application
Set M = O.CreateItem(olMailItem)


With M
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = Msg


.Subject = Test
.SentOnBehalfOfName = "xyz@abc.com"
.Display

End With


Set M = Nothing
Set O = Nothing




End Sub

presumably your comments field is set to rich text?

I've not experimented but suggest trying

rtfBody

rather than htmlBody

since rich text coding although similar is not the same a html

Actually the comments field was plain text. I changed it to rich text and and it works. How could it have been that easy?!
