You have to store the user's autonumber as a custom field in Exchange. You can extract it using MAPI. I myself prefer Outlook Redemption[^]. It's not free but it's pretty good. To make sure the number appears in the correct spot you can create a message based on the template, read the content of the message, replace the running number location (e.g. you put [[AUTONUM]] in the template) with the current number, and reassign the message content. Or simply write the message content when creating blank message. The safest option is to not use templates at all as the person receiving the e-mail will need to have Outlook and the template installed if you are using custom form, otherwise they will only see the standard e-mail message.

tks a lot... don't think I'm able to do it though... guess I'll have to talk to the client again... maybe other alternatives...

Hi, create a CStatic control and choose type 'rectangle'. Use the following code to draw into that window. void DrawBitmap(CBitmap* pBitmap, CWnd* pWindow, CPoint Offset) { // get bitmap information BITMAP bmpInfo; pBitmap->GetObject(sizeof(bmpInfo), &bmpInfo); // get source size CSize srcSize; srcSize.cx = bmpInfo.bmWidth; srcSize.cy = bmpInfo.bmHeight; // get window's client device context CClientDC\* pDC = new CClientDC(pWindow); // create compatible divice context for stretching CDC\* memDC = new CDC; memDC->CreateCompatibleDC(pDC); // load bitmap in original size CBitmap\* old = memDC->SelectObject(pBitmap); // copy bitmap data pDC->BitBlt(Offset.x, Offset.y, srcSize.cx, srcSize.cy, memDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); // reselect first bitmap memDC->SelectObject(old); // delete device context and reset pointer delete memDC; memDC = 0; // delete device context and reset pointer delete pDC; pDC = 0; } Regards If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
