I have a form that collects information, then emails it to someone. Part of the code is as follows:

strBody = strBody & "Account No.: " & Request.Form("AccountNumber")

I can't figure out how I can make the actual information from the form show up in BOLD on the email. Is that possible?

Thanks!

You need to send a HTML-format message, instead of a plain-text message, in order to get BOLD.

You need to read up on the CDONTS.NewMail object. Use BodyFormat=1 to send plain text, and BodyFormat=0 to send HTML.

Here is sample code that creates an HTML-format message:

Dim myMail
Set myMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

HTML = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC ""-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"">" & NL
HTML = HTML & "<html>"
HTML = HTML & "<head>"
HTML = HTML & "<meta http-equiv=""Content-Type"""
HTML = HTML & "HTML = HTML & ""content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"">"""
HTML = HTML & "<title>Sample NewMail</title>"
HTML = HTML & "</head>"
HTML = HTML & "<body>"
HTML = HTML & "This is a sample message being sent using HTML. <BR></body>"
HTML = HTML & "</html>"

myMail.From = "Example@Microsoft.com"
myMail.To = "Someone@Company.com"
myMail.Subject = "Sample Message"
myMail.BodyFormat = 0
myMail.MailFormat = 0
myMail.Body = HTML
myMail.Send
Set myMail = Nothing

Dear kmattera,
larryw24 is right, but if u wanna to use the same line of code, then do it this way:

strBody = strBody & "<B>Account No.: " & Request.Form("AccountNumber") & "</B>"

this way should work cause i tried it before...

Hope this helps,

Best Regards
