• Subject: Can you populate an outlook Form or Template from Access or Word?

I'm using Outlook 2000 and our System Administrator does not allow us to turn
on the feature to use Microsoft Word to edit emails.

What I would like to do is let a user click on a button in Access and it
would open an Outlook template or form, populate the appropriate fields using
information from the database, then send the email. I have been able to
create and send a plain text email, or send a template or form with blank
fields. I even tried to create a form in Word then insert the form into the
email, similar to Insert > Object > create from file, but couldn't figure out
how to do that either.

Could someone please let me know first of all, is this even possible or am I
just spinning my wheels here. And if it is possible, where do I start? I've
never programmed in Outlook, but I have used redemption to create and send
plain text emails.

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks
