thanks Duane, have a look there, just very unsure as how to actually contact said form to api. aside from that do you have any idea regarding the insert as text (into body of email) command? (as in post 12).. the email feature is actually working really well!, i just want to refine it a little and it'll be hunkydory! cheers iona Duane Hookom wrote: There are some nice functions

Duane! All right, All right.... stop nagging me! I've done it, just one tiny snag.. I would like to utelise outlook 2003's insert as text facility, primarily to be able to insert an html file into the email body, however an stuck on actual code syntax.. I imagine it would be vaguely similar to this: If (IsNull(Forms!frmMail!AttachmentPath)) Then Else Set objOutlookAttach
