    Adding bullet point to email body using VBA from excel

    HI, I have a send email macro that works fine I just want to know how to enter bullet points into the body of the email, I am guessing something to do with CHR149 but I am not sure on the syntax of how to use this? can anyone help? I would like Points A-C to be a bullet pointed list

    [Sub booking()

    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim olEmail As Outlook.MailItem


    Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
    Set olEmail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)


    With olEmail
    .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
    .Display
    .HTMLBody = "Dear XXXXX," & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & " Thank you for your email." & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & " As requested, we have arranged the Service for XXXXX on XXXX XXXXX XXXX at XXXXX at XXXXXXX ." & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & "Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the Service is due to start." & vbNewLine _
    & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & "Please confirm:" & vbNewLine _
    & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & "Chr(149)" & "Point A" & vbNewLine _
    & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & "Point B" & vbNewLine _
    & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & "Point C" & vbNewLine _
    & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & "We request that all choices are confirmed two working days before the date of the Service." & vbNewLine _
    & " <br>" & " " & " <br>" & "If convenient, I will telephone on XXXXX to confirm these details with you. If you have any further queries in the meantime or in the future, you may contact myself or my colleagues at any time." & vbNewLine _ "<br>" & .HTMLBody
    .To = ""
    .CC = "[email protected] "
    .Subject = "Enter Subject text here"


    End With
    End Sub]

    Re: Addig bullet point to email body using VBA from excel

    You need to learn how to use code tags properly. You have to add [code] and [/code] around the text you want to format. Perhaps an admin will do it for you this time? In the meantime, I think you could simplify your code a little here and use <ul> and <li> to get the bullets:

    Re: Addig bullet point to email body using VBA from excel

    Thank you WideBoyDixon that works perfectly!

    I am quite new to VBA and learning by googling stuff! So this is why my code is not the greatest. This is only the second timeI have posted code in this forum so I thought I had put the right tags around it. I am not sure how to do it right but I will investigate!

    thanks again for your help.
