I have set up a database that holds wedding list details for our shop. The product images are not held in the database itself - I have linked to them using VBA as outlined in the microsoft access help pages.
Now I can print a report absoluely fine, but I can't capture the report to send as an email to wedding guests. A snapshot isn't good enough as I don't want our customers having to download software. I thought maybe I could export the report to Word and then email that as an attachment. However, when I export the report, there are no images in the resulting Word document.
Does anyone have any ideas? I primarily need ease of use for the customers picking up the email at the other end.
I am using Access 2000, Windows XP and Groupwise 6.5. I am trying to email an employee leave report using the SendObject method. I would like to use the SnapShot format. Must I save the report before I send it? I tried acFormatSNP with no success. Thanks for all your help.
Access 2000 Wondering if there is anyway to setup a report to automatically run and e-mail out at a certain time each day? I currently have a button on a form, based on a macro, that when clicked, will e-mail the report to a certain user. Just wondering if there is anyway to set it to send at a certain time, without having to open the database and manually run it.
Well im close to putting my DB into action, but I'd like to have a form that will show a list of queries and reports where they can be selected and emailed. I would like to be able to choose one or many files. I have created the email module and its working fine, I just thought I could make it a bit easier to send multipule reports with the click of a button. I just can't find a way to list all my queries/reports in a dropdown list. Can someone send me a suggestion on how to do this if posible.. Thanks in advance.
I have many reports that are structured differently, many are grouped by semester.
What I do now, is put a button on each grouping of the report I want to email from and use the current semester (Sem) which is also a query parameter to filter the report.
Here is my current code which works fine:
Sub EmailFromReport(rpt As Report, Optional Sem As Variant) Dim db As Database Dim qry As QueryDef Dim rs As Recordset Dim Bcc As String Dim Subject As String Set db = CurrentDb Set qry = CurrentDb.QueryDefs(rpt.RecordSource) 'set query parameters
[code]....
The problem is, I need to be able to filter these queries on other criteria besides the semester.
My first idea was to use if statements to skip the records I don't want. This is messy and the report structures are different so I run into issues when using optional parameters because not all the reports are structured the same.
The best solution I have come up with so far is using a wherefilter parameter, stripping the semi colon off the querydef sql and surrounding the sql with a qrydef.SQL = "SELECT Email1, Email2 FROM (" qrydef.SQL ") WHERE " & wherefilter.
The problem is this, changes the original query, and I can't figure out how to copy a query with db.CreateQueryDef If i do db.CreateQueryDef("tempqry",qrydefSQL), I lose the query parameters.
Is there a better way to do this? If this is the best way, how do you take an existing query and make a copy of it?
I have a database that is strictly for generating and printing work orders. Our supervisors use it to print new work orders on the fly. normally that is fine. I have the Vb to print that specific work order
what I need to create is a VB that would allow other people to create a work order that would email it to the those supervisors. email addresses will always be the same. I just dont want to send the entire report.
I have a table, each row contains information that I want email out as a pdf.
I've created a report, and at the moment I've created a button embedded with the onscreen report which emails the report I'm actually looking at onscreen (as an attachment), all the button is doing is event-on click running this VBA code...
Code: DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "rptSalesReceiptMain_UK", acFormatPDF, DLookup("[Email]", "[Sales]", "[PrintInvoice]=True"), , , "VAT Receipt for your order", "As requested, please find your VAT sales receipt attached"
...it all works, but it's very manual....because I have to open up each report manually, & then click the button manually to create the email
Since I have the main 'chunky' parts done (i.e. creating the report & the code that emails it when I click a button), I'm now turning my attention to automating.
I'd like to add a new true/false column to my table "Receipt Emailed" (or similar) & have a bit of VBA hunt down the column, then it comes across a false condition, it runs the report & emails it.
Therefore rather than me opening the report & clicking on the button (which runs vba code), how do I get this done automatically?
I have limited access knowledge and everything I learned about access was from youtube videos and reading online. I have only used the features that do not require coding/programming (tables/queries/reports).
this is my problem. I am the secretary of a social boat club (about 300 members) in charge of producing invoices. I created a my member table with general data, applied a query to create a Dues&Fees Table and then I created an Invoice report from this table..etc. Right now I have a final report, with 300 invoices that i could easily print and mail. However, people are asking to have their invoice emailed and I was wondering if there is a way to mass email each individual invoice to each individual member of the club.
I am using access 2010...and i have a form with a combobox on it...and in that combobox shows a list of employees names. When i currently select the name of the person that i want, it creates their own individual report of their workload.What I want to do is to be able to select that person and it generates their individual report and then attaches it in an email to that individual.
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 have a large report that generates information specific to a large list of contacts. I would like to email each contact a .pdf of their part of the report. If possible, I'd like access to run a loop and do this in one button click. I'm not even sure to begin with this.
I've been working on a database for the last month or so. It's been a slow process since I've been learning Access and VBA in the process.
But my supervisor wanted a copy of it as a progress check to send to his boss. So I sent an email with a copy of the database as an attachment.
THe email went through, but when my supervisor tried to open said email, a dialogue came up saying that Access couldn't open the file because it was "out of the intranet or on an insecure site" or something along those lines
I was just wondering what this meant and how I would be able to send my boss a copy of the database so that it can be reviewed and such. Would this require splitting it?
Sorry to drag this forum back to the nursery school but.....
We have set up a database for recording manufacturing trials. The trial details (such as date, product, nature of trial, person responsible etc) are entered into a form. At present this form is then printed and distributed for authorisation and to inform people of the trial. It would be much more convenient to be able to email the completed form to interested parties so they could review it in advance.
I have seen references to emailing tables etc from Access but do not know how it is done. Can someone explain it to me please in terms an idiot could understand!
I have a combobox named: Champion the control source is EmailChamptionID, based on SQL statement SELECT tblChampions.EmailChamptionID, tblChampions.Champions, tblChampions.cemailaddress FROM tblChampions;
I want the user to be able to select the persons name from the box, which has an email name associated with it cemailaddress. When a command button is selected the person is supose to get emailed, but I keep getting a compile error "method or data member not found" .cemailaddress
the line is: Private Sub cmdNotifyChampion_Click() DoCmd.SendObject , , , Me.EmailChamptionID.cemailaddress, , , "TS16949 Non-Conformance #" & Me.Text19 & "", "hello", False, ""
I've also tried
Docmd.SendObject , , , Me.cemailaddress, etc
I guess I'm refering to the email address incorrecly, how would I write it?
I apologies for this thread, I was desperately attempting to avoid the need to post for help, especially as this is a much discussed subject. However, after three days of reading hundreds of threads and searching the web (not to mention winding the wife up) I am more confused than ever.
So, please bear with me, I have tried but everything I've attempted so far has failed.
My query centres around multiple e-mailing. I have a table from which a query runs. The query is called QryAddressBookEmail. The query will bring back anywhere from ten to thirty plus results, dependant upon the search parameters entered. From the query results I would like to e-mail each record. The email address is contained in the query field Email.
I'll be using Outlook Express for the emailing.
Rather than sending each e-mail separately I would prefer if they went as one, (IE Pete@..... , Joh@.... etc) thus avoiding the 'silent email warning - confirm to send' that appears to accompany each e-mail
For the subject and body of the e-mail, if possible, I would like two fields on the form that are populated by the user. These are named 'Subject' and 'Body'.
Again, if possible, the email is to be sent by clicking a command button.
So.. in theory, the user will select their search parameters which brings them back a list of hits. They then enter their subject line and the body of the e-mail directly onto the form and then hit the command button which will send a single e-mail to all those identified.
Also........ Whilst its not essential, anticipating future developments and other peoples wants, could an option be added for the user to attach a document by providing a path for it via a field on the form?
And..... if possible and time permits. Again, anticipating other peoples questions and problems, could an alternative be provided that e-mails each record seperately.
As you've probably already guessed, my VB is limited but I will give it my best shot.
Thanks in anticipation to anyone that can help. It is appreciated the time it takes to answer SFQ's from people like me.
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.
I'm a student It's just my first time to program in MS access and my project requires to automatically send email reports from MS Access...how can i do it??
I've read through many of the threads relating to sending Email from Access but can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for. I work as a Tutor Coordinator at a local college and I've set up Access to handle a lot of the day-to-day chores that our administrative assistant has to deal with.
One feature that would be absolutely wonderful would be to create and send Emails to students at the click of a button. I have several types of Email I'd like to be able to set up, but the one most needed (and probably most complex) is this:
Students come in to the office and request a tutor. If we have a tutor available, we assign them to an available tutor. If there is no tutor availabe, then every Friday we send out an Email to each individual student saying something like this:
"Dear John Doe - We currently do not have a tutor for MATH 101 at this time, but when one becomes available we will let you know... blah, blah, blah..."
I'd like to set it up so that the body of the message comes from a template - such as a text file (that is easily edited by a user) and populated with fields from a query.
Probably do something like this:
Query the Student_First_Name_field, Student_Last_Name_field, Department_Name_field, Course_Number_field, and Student_Email_field. Send an Email to each Email address pulled from the Student_Email_field and tell them the following - "Dear <first name, last name> we currently do not have a tutor for <department name, course number> at this time... blah, blah, blah..."
Currently the way the administrative assistant handles this is to send each student an Email individually - manually creating each Email with the specific data needed. As you can guess, this is quite time-consuming.
I'm rather new to Access but have been a RDMS programmer (in PICK) for several years. I know what it is I want to do, but don't know how to do it in Access.
Any help?
Would the best way be to use text files for templates?
Can text files be set up with field codes (Access recognizes "<LAST NAME>" to be Student_Master_Table.Last_Name_field)?
I'm guessing this will likely have to be a Visual Basic loop that works with data from a query.
I have a form that the user will fill, then email it to a customer. I dont want to send the whole table, just the values that the user just inserted in the form.
Any idea on how should i do that using Access?
I am aware of the SendObject method, but i never used it, and dont know how. Any help will be very apreciated.
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!!
