You don't need to know any HTML for that task. Create an .oft file with placeholder text where you want the name to appear. I use tokens like %name%. Then load the template and use Replace():
Set itm = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\myfile.oft" )
itm.HTMLBody = Replace(itm.HTMLBody, "%name%", _
"customer_name")
etc.

I need to be able to automatically send a HTML template in response to
a rule in Outlook 2003.
It seems that for me to do this I need to be able to make a string from
an existing HTML template,
insert a string with the customer's name in the proper section of the
HTML string, then insert the entire string back into the template as
objItem.HTMLBody = strHTML.
Problem is I don't know how to build a string from HTML.
Can anyone offer any suggestions or point me in a direction where I can
find some examples on converting HTML code into a string. I need to
preserve all formatting and hyperlinks.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Bob
