Hi. I am trying to loop through several emails that must be sent with
attached files. I was using the DoCmd.SendObject code, but I have to attach
external files, so I am now using Outlook(2000).

When I used the DoCmd.SendObject code, the email box would pop up and become
modal on my screen until the user clicked send or cancel. However, with
Outlook, when I use the .display code, the outlook email appears on the
screen, but the code after the .display continues to run. I want to halt the
code from running until the user decides what they want to do.

Any tips? Thanks.

Use .Display(True) to make the e-mail Inspector window modal.

Thank you Eric. When I use the .Dispay(True), it does halt the code, but I
do not see the email come up in Outlook. It appears as nothing happens. I
would like to halt the code, have the email come up in Outlook so the user
can add/append to email and the send from there, but I am not seeing the
email appear.

Help..

Be careful using modal Inspectors, they often close leaving a "ghost" window
that you have to close manually.

Hi!
One more question about this topic
How can I reach from my code the content of the email before sending.

I call Display(True) which popup the outlook mail
But when the users finish the email and press the send button I would like to reach the content of the email.
How can it be done?

Thank you

Gabor
