Accessing Outlook Email Templates

[CWestII]

Good Afternoon All!

Let me preface this by saying that I know how to open Outlook templates via "Shell" commands And I know how to create new email objects and populate them using Outlook mail item objects from Access.

What I need to know is how can I populate an Outlook template (FileName.oft) using automation (e.g. Outlook mail item)from Microsoft Access.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I have looked at mail item objects and have not seen anything that looks like it would work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Rather than using an external file and sending could you save a modified template in an exchange folder and access it programatically to send the message?

We use one Outlook form here to pass data into a modified calendar form and submit it.
