    email a form in the body of an email?


    is there any way to email a form in the body of an email? I have tried to find anyone who has a solution and I have not found a way to do it.

    If it isn't possible in any way, I need a way to send the form via email to someone to open and use without having to enable editing to do so. I need a way to send a form so the receiver has the most simple way to open it. I'd rather not send it as an attachment, if it can be done.

    Thanks

    a single command:
    docmd.SendObject acSendForm ,"myForm",acFormatPDF,"bob@myCo.com",,,"Subject"," message"

    or in a Macro

    or in a Macro
    I need to send this form to a variety of individuals and they will have a variety of email clients. I need the form to be such that they can complete it within the email and then click on SUBMIT to return it. I can't have a form that requires they enable editing or allow macros or anything else out of the ordinary when getting an email. Is it possible to use a PDF format and do this? I don't want to use a macro to avoid the receiver needing to allow macros etc. Does this solution work in the way I need it to. I am new to Access and will need to hire someone to do the programming for me. This form seems to be a rather tough item to get done properly.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
