Default Variables passed into HTML from VBA for a boilerplate template

I've done this by using placeholders in the HTML where the data from the InputBox result should go. For example, put %Field1% where you want one bit of data to appear, then use something like:

htmlText = Replace(htmlText, "%Field1%", "New Text")
myMessage.HTMLBody = htmlText

All,

I have a complex HTML e-mail message that I want to be able to customize
using variable in VBA. I don't want to have to go through the entire HTML
maessage and include in the the .htmlbody when creating a new message. I
would perfer to somehow pass variables that are set via an input box and then
pass them into the message in a template? Some variables are just text in
the message with HTML formatting and some variables are text+part of a
hyplerlink. Does anyone know wuick way to achieve this, I am just spinning
my wheels...
