Re: [MS_AccessPros] Sending email from access

 

Hi Crystal,

Thanks for replying. I got it that specific mail application such as Outlook is required to send attachments.

I'm trying to configure my Outlook account, its not configuring yet. As soon it is working and OK. I'll return and request you to guide me further.

Thanks again for replying.

Best regards,

Khalid

Hi Khalid,

unless you automate with a specific mail application such as Outlook, I do not believe you will be able to attach anything. As far as I know, it is not possible to attach files using Application.FollowHyperlink  "mailto:  ....

Hi Crystal,

First of all sorry for replying much late, as i was engaged on some other issues.

Now the current situation is that my user do not have Microsoft Out Look Express, so he will use some other email probably gmail.

The first task which i need to accomplish is that when a Member/Members birthday occurs on the current date an email be sent to him/them automatically (with an attachment of Happy birthday wish from Society, some image selected and edited to our requirements).

The necessary fields from table "Members" are as follows:

MembershipType-->Text-->3

MemberID-->Number-->Long Integer (PK)

SurName-->Text-->30

GivenName-->Text-->30

GenderStatus-->Text-->15

Dob-->Date/Time, Format-->Short Date, Input Mask-->00/00/0000;0;_ (Date of Birth)

tblElectronicContacts

MemberEmail-->Text-->50

I have already have a Continuous Form "Notification3", which opens on clicking the Label "LabelNotification3" with the Caption "Member's Birthdays Today".

Form "Notification3" Record Source is query "qryHappyBirthday" having Sql:

SELECT Members.MembershipType, Members.MembershipTitle, Members.MemberID, Members.SurName, Members.GivenName, Members.GenderStatus, Members.DesignationSOC, Members.Dob, Members.PlaceOfBirth, tblContactNumbers.TelephoneResidence, tblContactNumbers.MobileNo1, tblElectronicContacts.MemberEmail

FROM (Members INNER JOIN tblContactNumbers ON Members.MemberID = tblContactNumbers.MemberID) INNER JOIN tblElectronicContacts ON Members.MemberID = tblElectronicContacts.MemberID

WHERE (((Month([Dob]))=Month(Date())) AND ((Day([Dob]))=Day(Date())));

I have just put this information may be you ask me about it.

Crystal, please assume that i am a novice so you will have to guide me step by step.

Required your help.

Regards,

Khalid

with Application.FollowHyperlink and mailto:, you can use the default email package installed but you won't have as much control over the message. For instance:

   On Error Resume Next
   Application.FollowHyperlink _
      "mailto: TheEmailAddress@...?subject=My Subject " _
      & "&body=whatever you want to say"

better than using spaces would be to use %20 ... for instance:

?subject=My%20Subject

There are other parameters such as cc and bcc that can be specified. The first parameter has "?" before it and the rest then have "&" before them. Line breaks are represented with: %0d%0a

Khalid-

You have to have Microsoft Outlook installed on the machine where the app is running for that code to work.  If you use something else for email, you'll need custom code.

Hi John,

In need to send emails to members on certain occasions.

For e.g.:

1) Informing Members of Executive Council for a meeting to take place on certain date, place,time etc; this information we may get from a report, or attach a word document (there is no such report currently. The current procedure is sending word doc. via gmail.

2) Informing Members about any event going to take place.

3) I have a form which displays which members have birthday today, so the idea is that they should be sent a birthday wish through email.

At present we do not have out outlook express.
