Hello everybody, Ive been struggling with this for the last day or so. I've tried 2 ways. I am trying to insert text (names/address etc) into the body of an email (with terms and conditions etc) that has been loaded as a template in MS Access.
The problem is I need a check box in the email body to select to show that the person reading the email has understood the terms and conditions. I thought it would be easier to create this template in outlook (with the check box) and then load it into Access and then insert the name/address etc into the body of the email - but this then just overwrites the text in the template. Ive tried it the other way and included the names/address etc in the vba code - but then cant figure out how to put a check box in vba. Ive included the code below (which works with the check box/template - but I cant figure out how to include the names in the body).
Or if its easier to include a check box in vba with the body of the email in the code (which I also got to work) - but as I say i couldnt do that bit with the checkbox
I hope that makes sense, somebody may have better suggestions - code for loaded template with check box without names/address below

'DoCmd.RunSQL SQL
Do Until rs.EOF
' put required fields check in here
If Me!txtClientID = rs![fldClientID] Then
incidentdate = rs![fldIncidentDate]

rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myitem = olApp.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\steph\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\CompanyFOAR.oft")
With myitem
.To = email
.Subject = "Company" & "-" & " " & fullname
' .Body = message
.Display
End With
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub
but was thinking you would just have
