Emailing A Preset Email Draft From Access
Jan 12, 2012
In my database, I need to have a button on a form which when pressed (1) pulls the email address from the displayed record on that form, (2) loads an Outlook instance, (3) in that Outlook instance, load a drafted email for editing and sending.
More detailed: My form, frmReferrals, contains the email address of a contact. I need to have a button, cmdEmail, which loads the email address of the displayed record in an Outlook instance. Ideally, I would like the loaded Outlook instance to pull some other information from the form. For example, I would like it to pull the name of the contact and display it.
Something like this:
"Dear " & [FirstName] & " " & [LastName] & ","
Leads to this:
"Dear John Smith,"
There would be a lot more text in the email with other information to input automatically. I would prefer to use as little coding as possible... but I suspect that all of this will have to be done with coding.

I currently have a database that creates an email pop up when running queries. I would like it to instead, create the emails and have then post in my Outlook draft box. How can I make this change?

I was trying to further my knowledge of access. I have a database that is suppose to be used a s a simple budget database.
Form: StartingAmount
Table: StartinAmount
Field: StartingAmount
Button: Create
Form: Transactions
Table: Transactions
Field:
TransactionDate
TransactionName
TransactionAmount
When the database is open the form StartingAmount is open (only until a starting balance is entered.)
User then puts the starting amount in. clicks create.
Then a record is added to Transactions.
TransactionDate = Date entered (auto populate)
TransactionName = Starting Balance
TransactionAmount = StartingAmount
I tried this code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO Transactions (TransactionAmount) " _
& "VALUES(" _
& "'" & Me!StartingAmount& "') "
With this it kept giving me an Append error and Im not sure how to get it to stop and how to add all the fields needed.
I tired to do:
Code:
INSERT INTO Transactions([TransactionName], [TransactionAmount])
VALUES ("Starting Amount", Me.StartingAmount)
But i keep getting an expected error in the VBA side.

I have a field within a table called E-Mail. I want to send a newsletter to everyone withing the DB. I have created some code which is as follows:
Private Sub testemailer_Click()
Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset
Dim strEmail As String
Set rsEmail = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("QryStoresEmailticked")
While rsEmail.EOF = False
strEmail = rsEmail.Fields("E-mail").Value + ","
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , "jo.bloggs@k-n.com", , _
strEmail, _
"UK KNLogin NewsLetter", , True, ""
rsEmail.MoveNext
Wend
Set rsEmail = Nothing
End Sub
Now this works but it opens an individual email per email address into the BCC part. That a major problem if you have over 1000 contacts to send to. How do i get all my email addresses from my DB into the BCC of an email?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello, I am looking for some help on what appears to me to be a very large problem. Hopefully, to others, it's an easy fix. I have a very large database that has several details, of which one is email address.
My report is structure to group first on the email address, 2nd on the cost center, and third on the exeption. I am emailing the report to each individual email on the report. I can get it this far, what I can't get is for the email to only mail out each part of the report that is strictly for that particular email address.
I know this isn't very clear, but right now the entire report goes to each email address, I only want specific pages to go. The kicker to it all is that if I set specific parameters the first time, then I would have to set them every time, because the report varies in length each time it is pulled.
Please helppppppp! Thank You

We are a facility maintenance company that do a variety of jobs for many commercial companies with a several different trade groups we have (electrical, hvac, plumbing, painting, masonry, etc...) Our Trade Group Managers submit estimates and budgets for the jobs they are bidding to. I created a database to store all those jobs so we can track what manager has bid to any certain job, what trades are involved, if it has been accepted-rejected-in progress-and such. As of now the managers turn a written (paper) form into me to submit an estimating inquiry request and I put it in the database and print them out a receipt of all the information they submitted to me along with an Inquiry Number (which is the primary key in the database)-then that is how we keep track of that particular bid-with that unique Inquiry Number assigned to it.
Now we are wanting to be able to have this all electronically. So the managers can submit an inquiry request electronically and get a receipt back electronically-either by email or online or whatever. On the form they fill out there are several different trades that are able to be checked off. After they are finished filling out the form I would like for there to be a button at the bottom to email that form to all the checked off trades. How do I go about doing that?
..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!!

Hello,
From the searches of this site Ive got it down and working to send an email with attachment via access. Thanks
The one thing I cant find is how to change the "From". I don't want these emails send via my name but my department. I usually just change the <From> to the department name in Outlook and send.
I cant seem to figure out how to make it work in access.
FYI: I did it via a module
With objMailItem
.To = "emails"
.Subject = "subject"
.Body = "text"
.Attachments.Add "C:file.xls", olByValue, 1, "department report"
.Save
.Send
needless to say .From does not work.

I am trying to automate the process of sending a query result via email.
I have code that will export a query as an excel document, using DoCmd.SendObject, but it has the name of the query.
DoCmd.SendObject acSendQuery, "Dailyrpt", acFormatXLSX, email.address, , , "Daily Report", "This is today's report", -1, False (email.address would actually be the email address it is being sent to.)
I also have code that will export the query to excel and save it as a file, using DoCmd.OutputTo, where I was able to name it something meaningful to the end user, and include the date.
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Dailyrpt", acFormatXLSX, "Z:FolderComplete as of " & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xlsx"
Dim Foldername As String
Foldername = "Z:FolderComplete as of " & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xlsx"
Shell "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft OfficeOffice14EXCEL.exe """ & Foldername & "", vbNormalFocus
Is there a way to either send the saved (renamed) file or to include the current date as part of the SendObject command?

Please help! I wish to set up an access database from which I can email mutiple contacts at once. I would like to send a pretty HTML message and, if possible automatically address each email personally, i.e. Dear John rather than Dear all.
I have experience with access but not sending emails from records stored in a database. My visualbasic is um...basic, but I can understand it if you're kind enough to explain in simple terms! Your advice would be most appreciated - I need ease of use and most importantly the personal touch of addressing each email to the individual.
Thanks! Look forward to a reply!

Hi to all!
I dont know if this is possible but can someone please suggest if this is possible and if so where I could find some info on how to do it or what I should be looking for in this group.
Can I set something up so that I can email from Outlook to all the customers in the query below?
I have an access database which I have creatged a query that pulls results from a table with 100 customers in it.
Lately I have been cutting and pasting information from the database and email every customer individualy.
An example would be as follows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear JOHN,
Your listing with us contins the following results...
CAT
DOG
MOUSE
Your listing has been viewed 10 times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The text in capitals are results from three colums in the database.
Colums are called
Name: JOHN
Email:JOHN@THEPETSHOP.COM
Result: CAT, DOG & MOUSE
Search Result: 10
Can I set something up so that I can email from Outlook to all the customers in the query above?
Where can i look to learn how.
Cheers
Mally

i am very new to access, but i can code in excel well.what i really want to do is no how to automatically email a report, query or table. I also would like to be able to export the above three to excel as well. I have worked my way up a little bit but my hair is falling out with how hard this is to achieve. I have come up with the following so far:
Code:
Dim outputFileName As String
Dim oXL As Object
Dim oExcel As Object
Dim sFullPath As String
Dim sPath As String
[code]...
The above code works a bit, but it only allows me to export tables (dont know how to modify it). It also doesnt open the table in excel properly, it opens excel, but the table doesnt open. I have to go to the location and manually open it.

My database is stores information about students such as name, student number, programme, email, etc. I have a STUDENT form with this information visible.
I also have a another table and MARKS sub form that contains the details of courses completed by the student and results. I have placed the sub form in the STUDENT form and can see each student's details and a list of their courses.
I want to be able to send this information to the relevant student via email. The student should only receive his information and no one else's.
Can this be done? Do I need to create a report first? Should I be using WORD to produce the emails?

I need to create a word file (it needs to be word) based on template (not a very complicated template) max 1 to 1 and 1/2 pages long.
the word doc needs to be named from the recordset but for now assume 12345.doc and the next one will be 12346.doc etc (I have a unique number system - available from tables /query .
i can either make the word doc in code or use a template (template would be better) recordset could have 20-30 in it each time i run it - but to be run every week
second half is how to email this out. i had in mind a email system
email to . test@testhotmail.xyz
file attach = this folder where the docs are store and attach 12345
in a loop
so either
create word file - email word file in a loop each time or create all the word files and then send them individual

I have a database where I record grades for my students. I would like to create a macro so that every time I record a grade as an "F", the student will receive an email that will contain an attachment of their scores. A lot of the information I want to include in this email is in several different tables. So to make it easier, I have created a query that lists the following:
Students name (SName)
Student's email (SEmail)
ID# of the form I use to record their grades (ID)
ID# of the studen'ts work (WorkID)
Date of their work (CreatedDate)
Date I graded their work (AuditDate)
Grade="F" (Accuracy)
How can I create something that will automate emailing of this information--to the individual student with only their information? I am using Access 2010. If I can't automatically send the emails, I would like to create a button in my audit screen that will send a report containing that student's information to them.

Hi
I have written a code that composes a new mail from MS Access. It does what i need. It also gives a question before displaying the mail body :
"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses yo have stored in outlook. Do yo want to allow this ?"
If I give yes, it proceeds with composition. If I give No, it gives an error "Application-defined or object defined error". Is there any way I can avoid this error.
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to ask a question regarding MS Access reports. I used the following code to email the report created in Access.
DoCmd.SendObject [ObjectType],[ObjectName],[OutputFormat],[To],[CC],[BCC],[Subject],[MessageText],[EditMessage],[TemplateFile]
I send a report in an email in rich text format and it works. But when you open the report there is no image, lines or rectangles. The format is ok but image on top of the report and lines are missing which I used for column captions. If anyone know how to handle this problem, I will really appreciate.
Thanks
Naveed
