This may be a bit off from what you guys want... But there is a way to generate an e-mail in outlook from RR. The basic idea is to use RR to create a document with all the needed MS-Word scripting so that, when you use a shell command to launch the document, it automatically opens up as an e-mail in Outlook. These e-mails include an embedded picture and quite a few html-style links for navigation within the document.
I do this for work, and it works great. However, it was rather tricky to set up, and (for reasons I do not fully comprehend) there are some computers in a different department at work where it does not work - probably something to do with the MS Word email envelope not being compatible with the version of MS Word on that computer. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Tweedly Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 7:35 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: Interfacing with MS Outlook phillip mukhwana wrote: >Hi Danny, > > > >I am trying to do exactly what you mentioned...i.e. not try and >re-invent the wheel yet take advantage of the rapid deployment >capabilities of Revolution and combine these with existing functionality >in Outlook. > > > >Have you had any joy on this since posting this?

Though you still have to interface to ActiveX - I don't know of (and quick search didn't find) any RR external to give access to ActiveX. Maybe you would need to use a Python (or other language) intermediary to get from RR to ActiveX. -- Alex Tweedly http://www.tweedly.net -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
