Hi !
I oftenly store some text in a textarray, then save it into a text file.
I do the same with web pages generated throughout VB. It is quite easy in html to format the page as I wish (TD, FONT, COLOR).
But my question here is " Is it possible to format a txt file ?"
Suppose I want to have my headers in Bold, how do I define it in my array ?
I also notice that chr(13) and chr(10) for carriage return and tabs does not work when saving to a txt file.
Any help would be appreciated

A text file is just that - Text. No formatting of characters is possible, unless you decide, say, to use the high-order bit for boldface, at which point, it's no longer a text file, but is a propriatory format.

use the constant vbCRLF for the end-of-line (it is actually two characters - chr(10) and chr(13))


The tab is actually chr(9) - but, it's a good idea to use the vbTab constant.

Actually, I am writing directly into an Outlook thread.
Does that means that Outlook will handle some formatted expressions ( i.e RichText expression ) ?

GREK

couldn't you use a rich text box add put in some formatting controls
i've never used one so i couldn't tell you how to
