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?
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
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?
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.
Im building a database that is required to send out a email once a week to selected parties informing them of what items will go out of date this week.
The main problem im trying to over come is the Automatic email.
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!!
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.
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.
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?
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 am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
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.

I'm sending an email from a form to Outlook express.

How can I eliminate these warning messages?? Thank You
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.
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.
