Tracy, thanks for the reply.

>>I tested your code (with minor modifications to use html code found in the memo field of a table I created) and it worked fine<<

That's really weird. Mine will only work with .body text, but not .htmlbody text.

However, I sent my problem to the author of Redemption and he replied with a solution that I would never have guessed in a month of Sundays! Place the HTML text in both properties!! It worked!
.body = lcHTMLString
.HTMLbody = lcHTMLString

>>I ran this from the same directory where I installed redemption:<<
Do you think it would have made any difference if Redemption was not launched from the same directory? I wouldn't have thought so, seeing as it is a COM object.

Regards,
Alan
