Email Current Contact On Form/Open Outlook
Nov 3, 2004
I've researched all the email topics, but can't find what I am trying to do.
Most of these topics are talking about emailing a record or form or something.
I have a form that contains thousands of contacts address, telephone, email, etc.
I would like to create a button that on click would open Outlook and grab ONLY the
email of the current contact I am looking at on the form at that time and add that
email address to the [To:] box of a new email.
Thanks you guys, I'm learning...slowly, but it's coming.

I am using Access 2010 and I want to be able to open a blank email addressed to the contact I am viewing in my Access form. I have been successful in creating a button which opens Outlook, but I don't know what code to put in the 'To' field of the EmailDatabaseObject page so that it picks up the email address of the contact I am looking at.

I'm using an unbound text box and a command button to filter a list of contacts on a continuous form. The continuous form has a query for the record source and the list ends up showing only what is in the strWhere filter
Me.Filter = strWhere
Me.FilterOn = True
Is there a way to have Access 2003 take this filtered list and populate the To: field in Outlook or whatever the default mail client is? Each email needs to be deliminated by ";"

I have a macro set to email a form to a person once a condition is met. This works fine but I've discovered that Outlook (2010) has to be open BEFORE this macro is invoked.
I wanted to add a step to the macro before the one that makes it email that basically says to open Outlook.
I have tried the RunApplication macro, but I apparently am not getting the path right. I don't understand what the problem is.
I accidentally dragged Outlook to my desktop and therefore created a shortcut from my Start Menu, but now when I go to Microsoft Office in my Start Menu, Microsoft Outlook isn't one of the options. I can't find the path to where it may reside now.
I am using the path to the shortcut on my desktop.

What else am I supposed to do?

Microsoft has a Desktop Student Database template (Access 2010) that does exactly what I'm trying to do:
open the Outlook Contacts dialog box, select a contact from the GAL, and then programmatically save it to a record in one of my tables.
I've tried simulating the button/coding on my data entry form, but I'm getting the error:
"The command or action 'AddFromOutlook' isn't available now"
I've search high and low but have only found a reference to creating a temp contacts table to import all the contacts.

I would like to create a button that when pressed opens up an outlook email. The email address will be populated by one email address every time. I don't want it to automatically send as the body will need to be filled out by the user. It would be useful if the date and time it was sent could be recorded in the form somewhere too (would this be in a text box?).

I have a form that uses the command AddContactfromOutlook. I used the standard example given by Microsoft and it works flawlessly in the form. When I use the form as a subform this command button breaks.

I have the following code working great with creating new contacts in Outlook from Access. My problem is I can't figure out a way to update already existing contacts in Outlook.
Function AddContacts()
Dim OutlookObj As Outlook.Application
Dim Nms As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim MyContacts As Object
Dim MyItems As Object
Dim MyItem As Object
Dim Db As Database
Dim Rst As Recordset
Set Db = CurrentDb
Set Rst = Db.OpenRecordset("CustomerOutlook", dbOpenDynaset)
Set OutlookObj = CreateObject("Outlook.application")
Set Nms = OutlookObj.GetNamespace("MAPI")
'to point to a nested folder in Outlook you have to create folder items in folder items:
Set MyContacts = Nms.Folders.Item("Public Folders").Folders.Item("All Public Folders").Folders.Item("Our Contacts")
Set MyItems = MyContacts.Items
While Not Rst.EOF
'Declare which form to be used to add your contacts
Set MyItem = MyItems.Add("IPM.Contact")
'add fields, to find out which fields are available take a look at all the available members of the
'ContactItem class in the Outlook object library.
'Be careful, Microsoft is using various names for outlook fields!
MyItem.CompanyName = Rst!BusinessName
MyItem.FirstName = Rst!CFirst
MyItem.LastName = Rst!CLast
If Not IsNothing(Me.WebSite) Then
MyItem.WebPage = Rst!WebSite
End If
If Not IsNothing(Me.CMiddle) Then
MyItem.MiddleName = Rst!CMiddle
End If
If Not IsNothing(Me.Suffix) Then
MyItem.Suffix = Rst!Suffix
End If
MyItem.JobTitle = Rst!JobTitle
MyItem.BusinessTelephoneNumber = Rst!Phone
MyItem.Business2TelephoneNumber = Rst!BackPhone
MyItem.MobileTelephoneNumber = Rst!Mobile
MyItem.BusinessFaxNumber = Rst!Fax
MyItem.Email1Address = Rst!Email
If Not IsNothing(Me.Address1) Then
If Not IsNothing(Me.Address2) Then
MyItem.BusinessAddressStreet = Rst!Address1 & ", " & Rst!Address2
Else
MyItem.BusinessAddressStreet = Rst!Address1
End If
End If
MyItem.BusinessAddressCity = Rst!CCity
MyItem.BusinessAddressState = Rst!CState
MyItem.BusinessAddressPostalCode = Rst!PostalCode
MyItem.Categories = Rst!CustomerType
MyItem.FileAs = Rst!BusinessName
'MyItem.Etc = Rst!Etc
MyItem.Close (olSave)
Rst.MoveNext
Wend
End Function

I have an Access 2007 SQL database with 20 users. The DB has a list of about 3,000 email addresses that I want to export to Outlook for mass mailing. I've already got the services of an SMTP mail service that allows 1000 mails at a pop to be sent, and I've already written in the logic to separate the list into groups of 1k.
The problem I'm having is that I'm currently exporting from Access 2007 to Excel 2003 format (for some unknown reason Outlook 2007 does not directly interface with Access 2007), and then I have to manually go through the import steps within Outlook to bring the data from each 1k name group spreadsheet into a contact group for mailing.
It all works fine as it is, but it's clunky as hell. I want to automate that process, but I'm not very familiar with Outlook. I'm not even sure what the file format is for a group. Surely it must have its own format, like group1.xxx, or something. My ultimate objective is to export straight from access to the .xxx (whatever it is) format, direct it straight to the appropriate folder within Outlook and in the process eliminate the need for the more tedious steps required to import each Excel file within Outlook that I'm currently using.

I am close to getting code to send an email from access with the body of the email populated with a Rich Text textbox from my access form. The problem I am having is that the body of the email is converted to plain text in Outlook which is creating problems for me. How to identify what I can do to convert to rich text or HTML in Outlook? I also want to attach a table that is populated by a query in my application, but i haven't got that far yet.

I am opening a new mail message in outlook using a button in a form.I want to change the "from" email address to a specific inbox (NOT personal email). Even though the email address is switched, after I hit sent and check my sent items - the email is actually sent from my personal email address and not from the inbox email address i wanted it to be sent from. I have access/permission to sent emails from the other inbox.
Is there a way to make sure emails are sent from specific email addresses and not ONLY personal inbox.What I read online is probably because of some "network" connection issues. Is there a way refresh connection between access and outlook? I am not even sure what the problem is.

I have a contact database which store email address and other info for customers. I have searched and searched. How can I use these email links to open and email to the contact? Such as how to email you@there.com from DAP or Form? So the user can click on the email address and auto open Outlook to send that contact an email? This is so much easier in webpage building :o Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys :)

In my database I have a table for all of the customers emails which list the 3 titles for each district they serve, for example District 1 has across the President, Vice President and Clerk. each email is a hyperlink that when clicked once automatically takes you to outlook, however, how can I choose all 3 at once without having to go back and forth to the database and outlook after the one click? so all 3 recipients are included in the email at once. In Excel you can copy and paste the 3 emails but in Access it doesn't allow you to do that. How I can execute this?

I'm really new at this Access database, but I've managed to create a database, tables, forms, macros, report and a switchboard, most of which work. Printing the current form command button works great.
I really need to email the current form or record, but can't seem to figure it out. I can email the report using the snapshot format, which is what I'm after, but it includes every record. If I email the form, the format has to be chosen and it doesn't look like the report.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks so much, Jolene

I have three objects a Main_Table , ClientDataForm and a MapForm all three share a common ClientID number
From that Main_Table I have created a ClientDataForm form which I enter all Data
From ClientDataForm I wish to create a button on it which runs a Macro that Saves ClientDataForm Record and then populates another form named MapForm with whatever record is currently open in Form One whether a newly created one or previous record.
How would I write this code for that button? Also why I would write it that way?

I am trying to add a command button to my main menu to open the contact names as a datasheet, I have changed the properties on the contact names form to datasheet as well as changing the properties on the button to the below:
Private Sub Command48_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Contact Names", acFormDS
End Sub
at first after I saved it, the button did nothing. Now after a bit of playing around (probably not a good idea) I have a new message that states:"The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Ambiguous name detected: Contacts_Click.To add some additional information, in the vba sheet above the code i wrote above it says:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Contacts_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Contact Names", acFormDS
End Sub
Private Sub Contacts_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Contact Names", acFormDS
End Sub
should I delete this?

When I have a form called "SiteForm" open and click a button "NewCalloutButton" I would like it to open up a form called "CalloutFormEntry"
I've done this using
Private Sub cmdOpenDetail_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "CalloutFormEntry", , , "CalloutID = " & Me!CalloutID
End Sub
However this brings up all the records linked to the calloutID
What I'm after is to open the CalloutFormEntry from the SiteForm in a dataentry kind of format but to carry over the current SiteID based on which site is open on the SiteForm. That way there's no user error logging callouts to incorrect sites.

I am trying to resolve an issue of being able to use a query from many different forms where the query is dependent on the date selected in the current open form. Right now it calls the function getDate() which works fine. Unfortunatly the function is called before the form is fully loaded and the control I want to pass has no value/doesn't exist yet and I get a
"Runtime error 13 Type-Mismatch"
Here is the function code:
Function getDate() As String
If fIsLoaded("F_SupplierData") Then
getDate = Form_F_SupplierData.txtDate
Else
getDate = "01/01/1901"
End If
End Function
Function fIsLoaded(ByVal strFormName As String) As Integer
'Returns a 0 if form is not open or a -1 if Open
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acForm, strFormName) <> 0 Then
If Forms(strFormName).CurrentView <> 0 Then
fIsLoaded = True
End If
End If
End Function
Is there a way to detect the state of the text field itself (if it is open, closed, dirty)? Or if anyone has a better way to tie a query to multiple forms?
