combo box data does not appear in e-mail
Hi,
I have created a word template with a function to e-mail the document as an HTML email message to a set address. This works fine bar the combo box's - With these the data that is selected in a combo box does not appear in the resulting email, for example if i select 'professional in one combo box - nothing appears in the e-mail that is sent, not even any trace of the combo bex. im sure this is simple to solve, so please could someone help! thanks. |

Hi ?B?cm9sbG5lY2s=?=,

There are simply things that aren't converted to the email HTML format, and this is one of them. What you can do about it depends very much on what kind of combobox this is: which toolbar did you insert it from?

Not really. There are simply things that aren't converted to the email HTML
format, and this is one of them. What you can do about it depends very much on what kind of combobox this is: which toolbar did you insert it from? thanks for getting back to me... the combo box was inserted from the control toolbar, and as far as i know is just a normal combobox... would a list box have the same behaviour? and is there a way to export the combo box text to a different text feild/form feild? |

Fields from the "Control toolbox" are ActiveX controls. In order to populate a combobox you need VBA code, right? This is lost when the document is converted to HTML - there's nothing there. And this control cannot simply be converted to plain text. You can try converting it to a graphic and see what happens: select the combobox, then press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink the field. Test sending it as an HTML email. What might work better, though, would be a combobox from the Webtools toolbar. These were made to work with HTML.
